When the author expresses a hypothetical situation...

Is there a name for a literary technique like that?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I'm sure its not parody, anecdote, side story frame-story or back-story.

In certain situations in science it's called a "thought experiment".
Sometimes it's called a "what-if analysis".
