This amazing book predicted television, digital watches, bullet trains, and more.

I found this episode very enjoyable as you featured some of my favorite Sci-Fi novels and authors. You did not mention though that when Professor Jamison was reanimated 40 million years later, it was in a mechanical body - like the illustration of the Zoromes that you used. Only his brain was saved. One of my favorite book series in the 60s was the Lensmen series by E.E. (Doc) Smith. His heroes had "lenses" that were worn like watches which allowed communication - albeit by telepathy and which also allowed mind reading. Something I would hope is not invented. He missed the boat entirely though by thinking vacuum tubes would still be in use in the era of space travel.

excellent piece, i enjoyed it greatly. I was surprised since you were covering Science Fiction writers, and what came to pass from their Writings, that you didn't mention the very first novel to combine Science and Fiction "the Modern Prometheus: Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly in 1816 which predicted organ and limb transplants, or Phillip K. Dick and Androids, but I'm sure there's only so much one can fit into a video that has so very much to offer. I love your body of work, educating and entertaining at the same time.

science fiction resembles actual advancements because most scifi writers are technophiles who are up to date on the latest research and can infer applications that are on the fringes of reasonable, but not completely impossible. The best Scifi is always based around a seed of reality. where everything is normal except the one or two fantastical technological advancements that make the story possible. In this way, sci-fi also inspires new generations of engineers and scientists, almost challenging them to make that fantasy tech a reality. look at all the people trying to make real light sabers, for example. Others are working on matter transportation and warp drives, among other fantasy tech that could actually be a thing some day. Its all one big case of Art imitating life imitating art.

I have actually run into a problem because of that... For a game idea I have I picked a fairly close solar system and wanted to have a few generations of time for the people to get there and settle a (nonexistent) earth like planet there. So I looked up how long it would take to get there and it turns out it takes thousands of years to travel 11 light years which is far longer than I wanted. So I tried to research theoretically how fast we could go and it was all just can we go at light speed? Which is WAY faster than I want 🤦‍♀️😆 So I just decided to do whatever I want with the amount of time it takes them to get there.

Im pretty sure the "digital wall" mentioned when talking about Fahrenheit 451 was actually predicting the flatscreen tv, not a social hub like facebook.

An actual social rating system is a terrifying concept. It's already rough having to live in a culture where a "credit score" determines your fate, but at least that's sort of a "first world worry" that you can mitigate or even escape from if you're lucky. Even though the financial situations you're born into heavily influence how your credit score plays out, you still have a quasi-blank-slate when you're born into that system. There are so many parameters like that forced onto us by the existing societies we are born into, and we're all more or less told that we just have to deal with it because we are also born into so many supposed benefits and privileges (everyone is expected to contribute to society or die trying, etc.); just imagine being born into what amounts to a numbers-game caste system. Your parents were both ranked at three, you're born at three until you can earn a higher number, ah, but you've got an invisible disability that's difficult or impossible to properly diagnose, so you'll inevitably be ranked down for merely drawing breath.

It also doesn't take into account anything that we might say or do, provided that we don't get into too much trouble with the law (ie murder). It doesn't matter how "free" a society or what type you're born into, you're beholden to it to some extent if you wish to be a part of it.

When the most successful people want to hold "the lower classes" to a higher standard, that's control, not accountability. It's no different than when political elitists (left or right) try to unfairly permanently destroy someone's reputation.

As for the rest of your post, this is a topic which I believe could be viewed differently, and I respectfully disagree. As far as I'm concerned, it's the same thing as giving your word, such as signing a document saying what you'll pay back and when. If you break your word, there're consequences. Most mistakes that affect the credit score aren't permanent, and many don't have a sizable impact on it. Missing a bill isn't going to drop my score 50 points or whatever. For a while, I didn't even care about my score, and I still stayed in the high 600s. I personally think that you're making the consequences out to be worse then they actually are, though your experiences may differ.

Kinda wish you'd have thrown a list of all the books/movies/shows you mention in the about section, easier to look back at the ones I've not gotten around to reading yet.

I only say that as I saw a documentary about our biggest and best supercomputer that exists and how it’s nearly impossible to make anything better than it. Meaning we’ve got our glass ceiling. It’s been a helluva ride, I could go on, but I honestly don’t think it should go any further than already. People are already getting nervous enough, and yes he’s right about them spying on us.

What about this forgotten piece:The book "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots), written by Karel Čapek, is a Czech science fiction novel from 1920. In this book, the term "robot" was first used in history. The story is set in a factory where artificial people, known as robots, are created using biotechnology. These robots gradually become employees of the factory but also exhibit some negative traits, leading to tragic consequences. The importance of the book lies in introducing the word "robot" into literature and later into everyday language. This book also introduced concepts that became crucial in science fiction literature, such as the ethics of creating artificial beings and their relationship with humans. "R.U.R." was the first book to open the discussion about automation, artificial intelligence, and the future of technology. Author Karel Čapek thus predicted the development of technology and its impact on society, making it a key work in the world of science fiction literature.

Verne described what eventually became the periscope so well there was legitimate court intrigue about whether the person credited for inventing it was allowed to patent it or not

Vernes first "SF" novel was published in 1863. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein was first publised in 1818, the first SF novekl, its plot driven by "science."

In the Formica war novels there is heavy emphasis on the acceleration aspect of deep force travel and its effects on humans. Atrophy is a common issue, and they even do a high speed acceleration with a newborn infant! It’s amazing how much they predict ans it is so grounded in reality I see it in the future.

That dumb kids think they are smarter than adults and the adults do too?? Cool story bro

Headphones, even little ones like earbuds, existed in 1953. Bradbury wasn't inventing that. They simply weren't wireless yet, but that's no great leap. That's right at the time when TVs were showing how anything (movies) would eventually be wireless.

Sci fis are fascinating for what they predict (& also the ideas they supply to science). I read (imo) a brilliant sci fi novel a long time ago that I have been trying to find again ever since. I think it was written in 70s-80s, and published by one of the well known sci fi publishers (it may have been a Nebula or Hugo award winner or nominee). It doesn't seem to be well known though, and I have forgotten the title and author, but it's one of the most epic sci fis, in terms of scale, I think I've ever read (and I've read most of the classics). It also makes some predictions, or at least puts forth some interesting future scenarios. The story starts with 70s-80s era earth being revolutionised by the discovery of a new element/super-material which not only settles the energy crisis on earth but also skyrockets humanity into the stars and enables the widespread colonisation of the solar system. As the story progresses it jumps from era to era, detailing how humanity and societies, with ever growing populations, might evolve out in space and on other planets, moons, etc. Then, a big plot twist comes. Without giving too much away (just in case someone here might want to find this book and read it, and hopefully tell me its name/author) it later involves humanity embarking on an epic journey further out into the galaxy by hollowing out asteroids and creating giant self-sustaining mobile galaxy-exploring colony space-craft. A number of them set off in different directions to various hopeful nearby star systems on generation-long journeys. I can't remember much more, except that the story eventually stretches billions of years into the future, a very daring thing to do for a sci fi author, requiring great imagination. The asteroid colony space-craft are what impressed me the most in the book, and its grand scale, though I recall that there is also an idea in it very similar to the internet and social media, and/or what it might become (eg, a collective/hive-mind). There's so much in it though, and I'm constantly reminded of it. Wish I knew its name.

So your having done so has given me faith that perhaps all is not lost for humanity. I once designed and then taught an English class called,, "Science Fiction, a Literature of Prediction." It wasn't terribly popular, but enjoyed some not small enrollment of about 15 students. I didn't overwhelm them but instead wished to challenge them. For I believe a single person can make a difference, if the right action is carried out at the right moment. Anyhow, your taking this topic up is inspiring! Excellent!

Surprised there’s no mention of “The Machine Stops” by E.M.Forster, which predicted video calls, computer-controlled household items, listening to a global broadcast of concert, essentially both the “Internet” and “the Internet of Things”… in 1911! Also, H.G.Wells’ “A Dream of Armageddon”, which uncannily predicted the rise of a German dictator, the symbols his followers wore as armbands or carried as flags, delta-wing aircraft and rear gunners. I thought he’d written it in the 1930’s, but no - it was first published in 1894, when the Wright brothers were not yet contemplating powered flight!
