How science fiction predicted so much we now take for granted

It wasn't really until the late 19th century that fiction begin to engage with scientific possibility. The French novelist Jules Verne was hailed as the world's first full-time science fiction novelist, and H. G. Wells created many works that seriously speculated about future technologies and their impact on society.

The article from RTE Brainstorm discusses how science fiction has often predicted or inspired real-world technological advancements. It highlights several examples where sci-fi concepts have transitioned into reality, such as video calls, smart homes, and even more futuristic ideas like teleportation and time travel. The piece explores how authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and more contemporary writers like William Gibson have influenced technology through their imaginative narratives. It also touches on the ethical and societal implications of these technologies, questioning whether we are prepared for the potential consequences of bringing science fiction to life. The article underscores the role of science fiction not just as entertainment but as a catalyst for innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible in science and technology.
