What is Science Fiction? It's harder to define than you think

Back when I still left my house to attend writer events, I attended a writer’s conference in Midland, Tx.

I don’t remember the full conversation, but one of their comments stuck with me. They said: “How can that be SciFi? It doesn’t even happen in space.”
