When we think of the future, we often associate it with science fiction and fantastical imaginings of what could be. But the reality of the future is not always so fantastical. It is a constantly evolving and ever-changing landscape, shaped by our actions and decisions in the present. From technological advancements to societal progress, the future is a reflection of our current state and the path we choose to take moving forward. And while it may not be filled with flying cars and teleportation devices, the future holds endless possibilities and potential for growth, improvement, and innovation. Speculative Fiction embraces the uncertainty and takes an active role in shaping the future we want to create — and warning of us of the dangers.
