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”.
I, Willhelm - Chapter 1
Eli Munt had one simple idea; to replace the worlds oldest profession with robots. A connoisseur of various red-light district and enough generational wealth to make his idea a reality, he poured a modest 30 million pounds into the project. At first there were few investors. The two school friends who did eventually agree to be involved in the project insisted that their names be kept secret. The first robots were crude, barely more than a stick-man skeleton with a blubber skin, and their existence was immediately mocked as the failed attempts of a rich boy with more money than sense. Despite the mockery, Eli sensed an opportunity and used social media to turn the robots - the Venus 1 - into a means for publicity. His stunt worked, and sales of the robots increased enough to fund research into the upgrade. An upgrade he was determined would make him is fortune.

In the annals of human history, the ominous advent of nuclear weapons marked a turning point—a moment when humanity acquired the means to unleash unimaginable destruction upon itself. The inaugural nuclear weapons test in the arid expanses of New Mexico in 1945 marked the prelude to a trajectory where these weapons evolved into ever more potent instruments of devastation. Since that fateful day, the world has witnessed 2,475 nuclear detonations, with a staggering 85% emanating from the arsenals of just two nations—the United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
Time travel is possible
Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about the fantastical notion of traversing the fabric of time? The allure of venturing backward to witness historical epochs or forward to catch a glimpse of the unfolding future has undoubtedly crossed the minds of many. The concept of time travel, once relegated to the realms of science fiction in books and movies, has become a tantalizing subject of scientific exploration. The question lingers: is time travel a mere flight of fancy, or could it be a plausible phenomenon? If it holds any credence, what are the prerequisites and mechanisms that might enable such a profound journey through time?
Akira (Anime)
I vaguely remember seeing Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira as a child--and most likely not understanding a minute of it, but just sitting back and letting the animated images of a futuristic "Neo-Tokyo" wash over me. Decades later, watching it yet again, on a digital YouTube social media platform no one could have foreseen in 1988, I was struck by how modern and well-preserved it is, how much it set the bar for decades of similar anime films, having all the earmarks of the various conventions that define the genre.

Mubashar M KhanPublished 4 months ago in FuturismKilling Technology
1. Cyberpunk "Cyberpunk" is a form of fiction given birth by the collision between societal decay and technological ascendancy. It was popular in the 1980s but still influences modern movies, television shows, comic books, and graphic novels, as well as music to a great degree. Films such as The Matrix, Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira, and newer offerings such as Cyberpunk 2077 have kept the genre alive. Its roots go back to the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, the French comic art of Moebius as exemplified in Metal Hurlant (known in America as "Heavy Metal"), and the "New Wave of Science Fiction" pioneered by writers such as J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Its aesthetic is seedy and post-modern, its world populated by hardboiled cynics, cutthroats, hackers, corporate criminals, and brutal, militarized police. And, of course, the occasional terrorist (er, perhaps "freedom fighter"?) working to bring down the oppressive, dehumanizing system wherein cyberspace (as defined by William Gibson) has become the Alcatraz of the soul.

Hello, Lover
10/788/14 s.d. Hello, Lover Sometimes these days for me move slower, as if this beautiful planet has been put in a state of pause. I feel the time passing in the briefest moments, watching the suns as they cross each other in the sky, seeing their colors when they set at night, I am reminded that the universe is moving around me, right in front of my eyes, but it seems that it is so fast and I am not sure whether it is better to move so fast and see nothing, or to stand so still and see everything.
