Western science fiction has evolved to reflect the social, cultural, and political issues of the contemporary world. While recent narratives maintain the core traits of Western science fiction--such as frontier settings, speculative futures, alien encounters, and advanced technology--they also engage with a broader range of concerns, reflecting the shifting anxieties and aspirations of modern society. Central to this shift is the genre's increasing focus on timely concerns like ecological collapse, identity, gender, power structures, and the impacts of technology on everyday life. Through the lens of narratives such as Liminal States, The Arrivals, Upright Women Wanted, and Persephone Station, this study illustrates how contemporary Western science fiction has adapted, offering diverse storylines that challenge norms while maintaining the genre's timeless appeal.
