They do this just to spite me.
The New York Times' "Room for Debate" topic this week?
"Sci Fi’s Far-Out Ideas Come True"Five writers and professors talk that ol' debbil spec-lit.
For those who may not be familiar with my professional interest in the topic, here a link, there a link, everywhere a link link.
Seriously, good on you, NYT, for taking up the subject.
But points off for being too gadget-heavy, and too light on the value of teaching people how to think fearlessly about humanity's many possible tomorrows.

Ooooooooooooh, that's a beauty.
Best Lensman cover ever.
Even without the misspelling.
oooOOOH! How I loved the Lensmen series! All the marvelous technology used to fight the Baddies... but in the end it was usually mano a mano!
Remember one book where the Hero & His Girl visited green humanoid aliens on their Home Planet, and were given a banquet? Instead of salting the food, the green aliens used arsenic. Green blood being copper-based rather than iron. Heh. LONG time ago...
