SCIENCE HIDDEN INSIDE STARCRAFT

Choi Won-seok

---

StarCraft is often considered one of the greatest sci-fi works of the 20th century, drawing heavy inspiration from Frank Herbert’s Dune. Because of this, the game is rich with scientific elements—from radiation and nuclear energy to genetic engineering, EMP blasts, adrenaline, and minerals.

Author Choi Won-seok views the StarCraft universe as a vast futuristic space where science and fantasy collide. It’s a setting where the principles of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, astronomy, and environmental science all come into play.

This book carefully unpacks the scientific concepts embedded in the game—many of which often go unnoticed—and explains them in a way that makes science engaging and accessible.

By linking gameplay to real-world scientific principles, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for both the game and the science that helps make its universe feel alive.
