Predictive Fiction
We (professionals, public, policy makers, etc.) need to try to get a handle on where technological change is going, and how to anticipate some of the impact of the various trajectories. A tool for doing this is a fairly constrained form of Science Fiction I call "predictive" fiction. Stories that are build on our current understanding of science/technology and project a modest distance into the future to explore how these things may affect society.
