Future of Days Past

Hi there John, everything allright?

Hi Manuel, yep, I got all kinds of feedback and suggestions 😊        

That’s great! My editor will be pleased 😊

A student of Cho also sent me some very interesting material about the history of science fiction linked to the history of science

Oh, very interesting! Were you thinking of a follow-up for context?

Indeed, a supplementary article, I’ll forward it to you with my comments.

I’ll check it out and forward it to my editor then.

Thanks! I think it does add depth and perspective 😉                        

So what do you think about the piece as it is?

Well, we did add a lot of new innovations beyond the “Prophets of Science Fiction” series …

I sense some hesitation in your words …?

Yeah, well I just think we should add something about he ethical and societal implications of it all

That’s a good point actually, not just hyping or criticizing the hype would be nice 😊

Also a lot of these science fiction authors did precisely that: look at how technology changes society

Then we should definitely include something more reflective, a more abstract perspective

Thanks to Julia, Cho’s student, we have some historical perspective, but we’d need ethics of technology

You’re right, there’s a lot of work being one on that front, which we might include in a follow up

I’ll check out some of the projects underway to guide responsible innovation

Good idea! 😊I’ll pitch the need for a follow up article to my editor!
