Recommendation

Does science fiction predict the future? This short production by Economist Films will entertainingly inform you about the relationship between science fiction and science fact. Paying homage to sci-fi and all of its fandom, this film isn’t just for aficionados, but for anyone with a stake in science, technology or the future. If you’re curious about where visionaries like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos get their inspiration, getAbstract recommends you watch this film.

Take-Aways

  • Cellphones, submarines, rocket ships, and many other modern technologies started as a notion held by a science fiction writer.
  • Sci-fi visionaries use their genre to imagine the moral implications of future tech.
  • Good science fiction must be convincing, so authors and movie directors often hire engineers and designers to achieve results that are futuristic, yet realistic.
