Elements that remind you of Sci-Fi in Game of Thrones:
* Political Intrigue & Power Struggles: This is a core element of both genres. Think about the galactic empires and political machinations in Star Wars or the complex web of alliances in Dune.
* Epic Scale & Worldbuilding: Game of Thrones is known for its vast world, detailed cultures, and complex history. Many sci-fi series share this characteristic, creating immersive settings with their own unique rules and technologies.
* Moral Ambiguity & Grey Characters: Game of Thrones is famous for its morally complex characters. This is also prevalent in sci-fi, where characters often grapple with difficult choices in a changing world.
* Themes of Power, Corruption, and Technology: Game of Thrones explores the corrupting influence of power, while sci-fi frequently examines the societal impact of technology and its potential for both good and evil.
Sci-Fi Books/Series with Game of Thrones Vibes:
* Dune by Frank Herbert: Intrigue, political maneuvering, vast world building, and a unique blend of science fiction and fantasy.
* The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey: A gritty space opera with political tensions, morally ambiguous characters, and a complex world built on realistic physics.
* A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin: (Yes, you read that right!) Martin himself has written a sci-fi novel called *The Armageddon Rag* and has a sci-fi anthology called *Wild Cards*.
* The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski: Though technically fantasy, it deals with themes of power, morality, and a complex world with its own unique set of rules.
