When Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact
Season 2 Episode 20 | 7m 36s
Why is some science fiction so good at predicting actual science?
Do Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Jules Verne, Philip K. Dick, Hugo Gernsback, Robert Heinlein, or Isaac Asimov hold a candle to H.G. Wells when it comes to correctly predicting the future of science via science fiction? And why does some science fiction do such a good job of predicting the future in the first place?
