| Re: What has SF NOT predicted?
Interesting question, but scientific methods and research are spawning grounds for SF. In order to avoid making SF appear outlandish - at least, those books set in contemporary society - predictions and persuasive arguments would seem to need grounding in reality. I have to agree a little with the poster who suggests SF isn't futurism. It's entertainment. Predictions aren't nearly as important as the way they're manipulated in fiction, to appear "real".
