Hi Vinayak, thank you for your question.
Yes, you can have a story set in the 'Now' and have it science fiction. There are many.
If you consider a film such as the Matrix, it's set in the real world, only it isn't. Yet when you see a street with everyone walking while watching their phones, aren't we living in a kind of Matrix of our own making?
There are many sci-fi stories that explore philosophical themes and society, it takes a concept, an idea and takes it to the extreme, for good or bad.
I hope that is what you were thinking.(less)

Fiction publishing, what should I expect to pay for?

This information is mostly for fiction authors; non-fiction has different options.

This article is in response to a few conversations I’ve had recently about paying for publishing.

Q: Do I pay for uploading to KDP, etc.? - No, Amazon KDP and other similar platforms do not charge to upload.

Q: Do I have to pay regularly to keep my books on the platform? - No, but you may have to pay to make updates.

Ok, I was looking forward to this, I'd enjoyed the stories written with Terry Pratchett.
However, I was disappointed. I listened to the audio, which has very poor reviews on Audible, but honestly, I didn't mind it; a few mispronunciations, but nothing
