Our take on the Story Thinking and the Real-world Applications of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writing

A hardcover book on how science fiction and fantasy writers build worlds and ideas, and how those techniques carry into real-world problem solving. It sits at the crossover of writing craft and science and technology, aimed at readers who want both. The best new price is $75.00 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, with two stores selling it new. That is a steep price for a single hardcover, so check whether a library or paperback edition fits before paying full price.

Pros
  • Covers both writing craft and real-world applications in one volume

Cons
