I have a feeling in our lifetimes we will see things that Science Fiction writers wouldn’t dare print...
Once, walking thru an international airport (Montreal?) I happened thru a “sculpture garden” advertisement for cigarettes. That half the ad copy was pushing the joys of product M, and the other half pushing grotesque imagery decrying the evils of smoking, for a surreal moment I couldn’t tell if I was experiencing the scene for real or watching a comic relief moment in some sci-fi movie.
Indeed, as we move into our science fiction future, some of it will be not just indiscernible from fantasy, some of it will be living stories writers dared not tell.
