But Jules Verne typically made few assumptions about technology in his
novels. He took those few assumptions tried to see where they would take
him.
Contrast that with "Sci Fi" which has faster-than-light drives, artificial

abilities, shape changers, etc., etc. Not to pick on Star Trek, they're
just the most common example.
