This Medium piece from @terraformsf’s @bcmerchant about the growing field of science fiction-based futurist consulting is super-interesting. A must read for people interested in the feedback loop between sci-fi and real world innovation. medium.com/s/thenewnew/ni…

For our 34th TechPoliSciFi book club selection we’ll be reading the first two novellas in Martha Wells’ award-winning “Murderbot Diaries” series: “All Systems Red” and “Artificial Condition”. I’m told they are smart and fast-paced fun! theverge.com/2017/6/25/1583…

Just finished book club selection 33, Peter Watts' "The Freeze-Frame Revolution," a novella expanding on his excellent series of short stories about an AI named The Chimp. What should we read next? amazon.com/dp/B0778NSNLK/…

NERDS! Looking for examples of science fiction having a direct impact on politics: So far, I have War Games prompting better cyber security and The Day After triggering (lol) anti-nuke activism. Others? @dandrezner? @RadioFreeTom?
