 While science fiction and magical realism both bend the notion of what is real, toy with human imagination, and are forms of (often fantastical) fiction, they differ greatly.Bower's cites Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" as a novel that exemplifies the science fiction novel's requirement of a "rational, physical explanation for any unusual occurrences".Huxley portrays a world where the population is highly controlled with mood enhancing drugs, which are controlled by the government.
