Abstract

In this paper I shall focus upon certain aspects of science fiction novels to explore and analyze how the impact of cyber-culture, virtual reality and cloud computing technologies have changed the way we view our world and whether it will ever be possible to realize the essence of truth in its entirety with the help of literary works which by their very nature are representations of a reality. So I shall attempt to give an answer to the question about the potentiality of the science fiction works as forms of literature to uncover some hitherto unexplored aspects of reality.
