Episode 140: Future Tech: Why Science Fiction doesn't exist anymore
In this episode, I talk about why science fiction doesn't exist anymore. The reason I say this is because for 100 to 200 years, authors have been writing science fiction stories, people like Jules Verne, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and HG Wells with stories like "From the Earth to the Moon", "Brave new world", "1984", "The time machine", and so many other stories. In these classic tales, the authors predicted what they thought would happen in the future. The main reason why I say science fiction no longer exists, is because most if not all of those predictions have come true. We are living in a scifi world.
