Technofantasy is a subgenre of fantasy, which has some elements of science and technology but it does not rationalize their use through scientific or quasi-scientific terms, which distinguishes it from science fiction and science fantasy. The less realistic and the more " technobabble" any explanation is, the closer the work is to technofantasy. [1] The concept of technofantasy has been described as "destroying the difference between magic and science". [2]
