Speculative Fiction - Is the Future Coming Faster Than You Think?

I feel like part of what's good about speculative fiction is that you can get a little bit weirder and more fanciful and fantastical. And that way you cind of sidestep some of the kind of notion of whether ore being predictive. I remember a malca older a talking about when she was working on inphomocracy, by giving it this really generic name. She said she did it deliberately because it's kind of like a personalized autonomous helicopter of some kind. Uses it, lives in it and flies around in it. But at the same time, i think that we have talk about the things that we're experiencing right now as well.
