Social science fiction in Poland is a subgenre of science fiction that falls within the scope of social science fiction. It emerged in Polish science fiction literature in the second half of the 1970s and was present until the end of the 1980s[1][2] (although some argue that the movement effectively died out by the mid-1980s).[3] Critics describe the trend as a literary and social phenomenon.[4][5]
Antoni Smuszkiewicz believes that in relation to Polish works, the term political fiction would be more appropriate,[6] a sentiment echoed by Robert Klementowski.[7]
Klementowski asserts that the trend [...] became an original and one of the most distinctive phenomena of Polish post-war literature, influencing subsequent generations of Polish authors,[7] and that the transformations initiated at that time contain the roots of today's fantasy, understood as a phenomenon not only literary but also social.[8]
