Summary/Abstract: As the author of this article claims, science fiction as a worldcentric convention, creates a fictitious world through the activation of the difference between the norm and the extraordinariness. A configuration of possible worlds arises, in the center of which the current world of fiction is. Science fiction enjoys a great variety of possibilities of confronting worlds. A particularly interesting variant is realized by the cyberpunk containing creations of simulated space or cyberspace.
