Uncovering Future Innovations Through Sci-Fi Analysis

A unique database called Tech Novel G analyzes thousands of sci-fi novels to track the ideas presented within them and determine if they exist today. By categorizing ideas and their realization, the database provides insights into the predictive accuracy of sci-fi authors. For example, it showcases predictions like telemotor coasters made in 1911, which are now similar to modern-day skates that enhance mobility. The database also reveals when concepts like credit cards and 24-hour live news were first mentioned in sci-fi novels before becoming real-world inventions, highlighting how many current innovations were once considered futuristic. Exploring this database unravels a realm of unrealized concepts that may shape the future, portraying a continuum of innovation from sc-fi imagination to real-world creation.
