| summary |
The following is an excerpt from my book Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century (Penguin, 2009). This chapter explores how the world of science fiction actually helps to shape the very real human-built environment around us. Besides being one of my favorite parts of the book to research and write, I thought it a particularly fun fit for the ACADIA audience, as it takes us back to the question of what originally inspires us. |
