Why: From earbuds to iPads, and rocket ships to credit cards, science fiction writers have imagined the future. And inventors have imagined turning those dreams into reality. Scientists, doctors, astronauts, engineers, and many others have been inspired to pursue careers, create new technology, and push the limits of knowledge by vivid tales of future times. On the other hand, authors have also taken existing technologies to the next level in their storytelling, opening the doors for tomorrow’s creators. The worlds of Sci Fi & Sci Fact await you!
