This article examines the stylistic evolution of science fiction from its pulp origins to contemporary manifestations such as cyberpunk and postmodern science fiction. It argues that despite the emergence of literary sophistication, experimental narration, and thematic complexity in modern SF, the structural and narratological foundations of pulpstyle remain widely influential. The genre’s traditional features—such as linear narrative progression, speculative extrapolation, and dialogic exposition—are frequently retained, even in texts that appear to subvert genre norms. Through a comparative analysis of cyberpunk, the article demonstrates how the subgenre transforms but does not abandon the aesthetic logic of pulp, fusing New Wave literary reflexivity with Golden Age scientific rigor. It critiques the frequent conflation of science fiction with postmodernism, suggesting instead that science fiction is distinguished by its commitment to epistemological inquiry, ethical individualism, and narrative resolution, often contrasting sharply with postmodern fiction’s ontological ambiguity and open-endedness. The article further challenges the assumption that science fiction’s “juvenile” label undermines its seriousness, arguing that its didactic function, especially in adult readership, enhances its cognitive and ethical dimensions. It critiques the literary canon's exclusion of SF and calls for a genre-specific poetics grounded in science fiction’s unique formal mechanisms—including cognitive estrangement, world-building, and kinetic storytelling. Finally, the article invites rethinking critical terminology by developing a historical poetics rooted within the science fiction tradition itself rather than relying on imported frameworks from mainstream literary theory. This study contributes to ongoing debates about literary value, canon formation, and narrative function, proposing a reevaluation of science fiction not as marginal literature but as a dynamic, self-reflexive genre that uniquely bridges ontology, epistemology, and narrative drive.
