This work is an analysis' narratives of three texts of short essay's books about Science & Technology, edited from a selection of short texts regularly published in columns of highly circulated newspapers - print and digital, written by scientists interested in bringing ordinary people closer to technical discussion. Our goal is to identify the thematic categories prevalent in the texts and to elucidate the presence of discursive particularities that could indicate the emergence of a "genre" of "short essays" on the field of science communication. About methodology, we use the categorical content analysis from 294 essays about 8 (eight) identified eight main thematic categories and 93 subcategories. The analysis revealed a trend toward the use of artistic and literary resources associated with a structure that mirrors the organization of articles published in scientific journals - inspiration sources for the essays.
