This has only tangential relevance to what I'm doing right now, but this idea is way too interesting for me to ignore it.
So I found this site that's basically giving an overview of how different sci-fi stories envision the future. Unfortunately, this site is like, bare-bones and barely informative, which SUCKS because that's about the most interesting concept I've ever heard of. Like, it almost makes studying literature seem like a worth-while endeavor. I almost want to propose it as a research project to someone. It would, if nothing else, be a great excuse to read a whole heap of sci-fi.
