science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Beyond the Binary:
Beyond the Binary: Liberation in a Digital World The sun rose over the sprawling metropolis, its beams casting a golden glow over the futuristic skyline. The city was a marvel of technology, with towering skyscrapers, flying cars, and advanced robots roaming the streets. But for all its grandeur, there was a dark undercurrent lurking beneath the surface.

Part 1: Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as one of the most transformative technologies of the modern era, promising to reshape industries, economies, and societies. At its essence, AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks range from simple calculations to complex decision-making processes, all executed with remarkable speed and accuracy.
Dune 2: Poor Chani
I have known all about Dune all my life, so when I saw Dune Part 2 in the theaters a few weeks ago, Chani's new character was a big surprise for me. Before I say anything more, I want to say that I can appreciate the need for changes to her character. The way Chani is written in the book is not very reflective of the ideologies of today's women. If they left her as she was it would have annoyed most women. I can see the need for a change, though I'm not positive I agree with the direction they took because it made me sad to see her reduced to a character of such limited understanding.
Stephanie Van OrmanPublished 4 days ago in FuturismHello, Lover
16/788/14 s.d. Hello, Lover I am reminded these long days of our adventures in the Kaskata spiral, do you remember? Sunshine peeking through forests in the sky and clouds of light beneath dark waters… I think you will agree when I say that memory could never do it justice.
V (Mini-Series)
I remember sitting in grandma's living room in 1983, watching the premier of V, which was a two-night mega sci-fi "special event." I was probably all of seven, so the film had an extra special appeal to me. The special effects, state of the art for the era, were awesome, ominous, and frightening. But it was the characterizations of both humans and aliens in V, and the eternal questioning of what is good, noble, human, and true, that underscored the allegory at the heart of the entertainment.
What Will Happen to Earth in the Next Billion Years?
In the vast expanse of time, a billion years holds a myriad of possibilities for Earth's evolution. While predicting with absolute certainty is challenging, scientific theories and models offer insights into the potential transformations our planet may undergo. From geological shifts to astronomical phenomena, here's an exploration of what could happen to Earth in the next billion years.
Star Trek - "The Squire of Gothos"
Greetings and felicitations! "The Squire of Gothos" is an extraterrestrial Liberace (redundant?) who sits at an old-fashioned Eighteenth-century harpsichord and kidnaps the Trekkers so he can reap hallucinatory mind control hijinks on them, in much the same manner as "Next Generation"'s "Q" (actor John de Lancie, who puts one in the mind of a cross between Howie Mandel and Jello Biafra) would do, decades later, long before anyone even THOUGHT about having a "Star Trek" spinoff series.
Star Trek - "The Enemy Within"
I thought I better stop and write about "The Enemy Within," the fifth episode of Season One, TOS, while it was still fresh in my memory. Of course, I'd seen it before, many, many years ago, and it always sticks out in my mind because it's referenced in the liner notes of G.G. Allin's Roir cassette compilation Hated in the Nation, which I'm sure most other "Star Trek" fans are unaware of and, even if they were, would not be proud of. The liner notes, by Mykel Board, use the metaphor of the Evil Kirk (the putative "enemy within"), who is a violent, tantrum-throwing uglification of Captain Jimmy T., pitted against the meandering Milquetoast Kirk, who is a weak sister who can't make up his mind on any pressing concern. Board suggests Allin is (was), "the enemy within," as well.

In recent years, the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics has sparked intense debate and speculation about the future of human labor. With the rapid development of technology, there is a growing concern that AI and robots will replace humans in various industries, leading to widespread unemployment and economic upheaval. While some argue that this scenario is inevitable, others believe that there are ways to mitigate its impact and ensure a more equitable future for all.
Livingstone MlonziPublished 16 days ago in FuturismThe Outer Limits: "The Special One"
My special affinity for "The Outer Limits" is virtually supernatural; I like it almost as much as "Friday the Thirteenth: The Series" (which I haven't written nearly as much about), which isn't nearly as smart (but which does have Louise Robey, which makes it somewhat superior).
The Impact of Futurism on Technology and Innovation
Futurism, as an artistic and social movement, emerged in the early 20th century, focusing on the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of modern technology and its impact on society. However, the concept of futurism extends beyond art and literature; it also influences technological advancements and innovations. This article explores the profound impact of futurism on technology and innovation, shaping the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.
