This document discusses various ideas about the future from science fiction, including self-aware machines, artificially intelligent robots, cybernetic enhancements, virtual and augmented realities, novel manufacturing techniques like 3D bioprinting and dissolvable electronics, space mining, anti-aging treatments, and new forms of transportation. The overall themes are that technology is an extension of human consciousness, the future will be driven by further merging with digital systems, and science fiction may help predict coming technological changes.

1. SCIENCE MEETS FICTION

2. WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION?
Science fiction has been asking us to
question the future for a very long time.
We have been telling ourselves the wrong story.

3. The future lives inside the neural networks
of our brains. It is hidden in plain sight in
the codes and patterns that have been
here since the beginning of time.
@GRAYSCOTT

4. Technology is natural. It has always been here. It is a direct extension
of our consciousness, and it will eventually inherit our minds.

Voyager mission in 1981–82,

7. As our digital consciousness expands, our digital space-time
awareness begins shrink.

8. The future is impossible, so we must embrace the impossible.

9. “Given enough time, Hydrogen starts to wonder where it came from,
and where its going.” -Edward R Harrison.

16. “CYBRIDS”
This is the first generation to have a fully
symbiotic biological, psychological, cognitive
and emotional relationship with the digital world
around them. They are Cyber Hybrids.

18. DIGITIZATION OF EVERYTHING (DOE)
Imagine a future where every sensorial experience is quantified, calculated,
predicted and digitized. A virtual simulated reality that is indistinguishable
from the reality we see around us now.

19. THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS

20. THE VIRTUAL WEB
The web 3.0 will be a simulated 3D virtual reality filled
with avatar replicas of our storefronts, our minds and
our bodies. These avatars will greet our customers,
family, and friends when we are offline and record the
interaction for later playback. Think of it as
SIMULATED REPRESENTATION

21. A VIRTUAL REALITY UTOPIA
ANY DREAM REALIZED, PARADISE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
We will use time dilation, the
ability to speed up or slow
down time, inside these
advanced simulations.
We will be able to pause,
reverse, or fast forward.
We will become masters
of time perception.
We may achieve digital longevity.

22. Real will become irrelevant.
"Simulation junkies" will spend
most of their time in this digital
reality. The simulation will be the
preferred drug.
We will drift in and out of these
worlds with ease. We will become
indifferent to what reality we are
in.
