Agree. Still think sci fi’s ability to point to future political/economic discourses is more important than descriptions of new tech

These days all actual sci-fi is post-singularity. Mundane stuff like direct neural interface is now just techno-thrillers: Bond's jetpack.

It's just very very hard to tell stories about The Future if The Future arrives with AI and programmable matter. It might as well be a fable

More than once have i come up with a “brilliant future scenario” only to have it happen a week later ;-)
