my 6-minute tour of the history of science fiction, from Mary Shelley through H. G. Wells all the way to the 21st century... I talk about George Melies, Hugo Gernsback, Ray Bradbury, William Gibson, and everything in between in this 2002 interview. The science fiction books I have authored: http://theplottosavesocrates.com

I love sci-fi, but I tend to admire more the early work of sci-fi. Unlike today, back then they had to rely on pure imagination and mix it with the social commentary of the time. I am not saying that today people dont have imagination, what I am referring is that today people have more influence or access to different fiction novel or movies. The earlier work has served as inspiration to todays sci-fi.

I think scifi needs to start chronicling the induced bio/spirtual evolution. Right now humanity is reaching the status of a planet-wide, integrated civilization---this in Michio Kaku's words is a TYPE I civ. Then again, I'm a jaded scifi-slacker who's more into his own half-baked writing ideas of cybernetics and scifi in general. Great vid!

Wow, very interesting. Where do you think Science Fiction is headed now?

Still in the bio-tech, anthropology direction ... with maybe a little more time travel...
