Answer the question - why is Homo Roboticus categorised as a novel in the speculative fiction genre?

What is Speculative Fiction?


People have often asked what literary genre Homo Roboticus belongs to. When I mention that the novel belongs to speculative fiction, furrowed brows usually follow my explanation.

In honoring Kazuo Ishiguro who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2017, the Nobel Committee helped legitimize speculative fiction—"an umbrella term for all fiction containing supernatural, science-fiction, dreamlike, horror, fantasy, or simply impossible elements—within a global literary community that has often ignored such works in favor of weighty realistic novels."

Speculative fiction "is a broad category of fiction encompassing genres with certain elements that do not exist in terms of the recorded history and observed phenomena of the current universe, covering various themes in the context of the supernaturalfuturistic, and many other imaginative topics. Under this umbrella category, the genres include, but are not limited to, science fictionfantasyhorrorsuperhero fictionalternate historyutopian and dystopian fiction, and supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof (e.g. science fantasy)".
