It seems I belong to a minority regarding the result till now

I prefer fantasy, sci-fi isn’t my world by books, same for movies.
In fantasy books, the world described is more mysterious, fantastical and mysterious and I can completely immerse myself in them while reading. Sci-fi books are too abstract and too far removed from reality for me.
There are exceptions, though; Marc Elsberg's Blackout is one of them and personally I found this sci-fi book, if considered to sci-fi genre, really really good.
