Shakespeare and Science Fiction

I've decided that Shakespeare was the first science fiction writer there ever was. Ok, maybe not the first, but he has to come pretty doggone close to the first.

And the name of that sci-fi piece is "The Tempest."

Why, you ask, did I decide "The Tempest" is sci-fi, even if it was writen entire centuries before sci-fi even started?

And you may ask, and I will answer -

BECAUSE IT'S WEIRD!

Monsters, innocence, faeries, magic, isolation, love, goblins...it's perfect for that sub category that sci-fi holds: fantasy!

And that, jadies and lentlemen, is all I have to say on the subject.
