technofantasy

{{Short description|Subgenre of fantasy}}

Technofantasy is a subgenre of fantasy which has some elements of science and technology. However, the genre does not rationalize their use through scientific or quasi-scientific terms; this distinguishes technofantasy from science fiction and science fantasy. The less realistic and the more "technobabble" any explanation is, the closer the work is to technofantasy.{{Cite web |last=Grant |first=John |date=1997 |title=Technofantasy |url=https://sf-encyclopedia.com/fe/technofantasy |website=Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997)}} The concept of technofantasy has been described as "destroying the difference between magic and science".{{Cite journal |last=Enciu |first=Elena |date=2019 |title=THE PORTRAIT OF A STEAMY, (UN)CORSETED SUB-CULTURE |url=https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=914127 |journal=International Journal of Cross-Cultural Studies and Environmental Communication |language=English |volume=8 |issue=2 |pages=22–30 |issn=2285-3324}}
