... Compare the presentation of Artificial Intelligence in Terminator 2 and The Matrix Sci-fi is a relatively new genre, only coming into existence in the last 100 years or so. H G Wells was one of the first significant sci-fi authors, writing stories such as "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds". It is almost impossible to define the genre, although the word "Sci-fi" is often associated with aliens and space travel. There are a few characteristics that are almost always found, and expected in sci-fi stories - they are often set in, or are in connection with the future, and the majority of them have a pessimistic outlook. Computers or extraordinary machines are always included in a sci-fi book or film, and are usually the main element in the storyline. The Matrix and Terminator 2 meet these expectations, with the main storylines consisting of the attempted domination of computers over humans
