science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Akira (Anime)
I vaguely remember seeing Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira as a child--and most likely not understanding a minute of it, but just sitting back and letting the animated images of a futuristic "Neo-Tokyo" wash over me. Decades later, watching it yet again, on a digital YouTube social media platform no one could have foreseen in 1988, I was struck by how modern and well-preserved it is, how much it set the bar for decades of similar anime films, having all the earmarks of the various conventions that define the genre.

1. Cyberpunk "Cyberpunk" is a form of fiction given birth by the collision between societal decay and technological ascendancy. It was popular in the 1980s but still influences modern movies, television shows, comic books, and graphic novels, as well as music to a great degree. Films such as The Matrix, Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira, and newer offerings such as Cyberpunk 2077 have kept the genre alive. Its roots go back to the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, the French comic art of Moebius as exemplified in Metal Hurlant (known in America as "Heavy Metal"), and the "New Wave of Science Fiction" pioneered by writers such as J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Its aesthetic is seedy and post-modern, its world populated by hardboiled cynics, cutthroats, hackers, corporate criminals, and brutal, militarized police. And, of course, the occasional terrorist (er, perhaps "freedom fighter"?) working to bring down the oppressive, dehumanizing system wherein cyberspace (as defined by William Gibson) has become the Alcatraz of the soul.

Hello, Lover
10/788/14 s.d. Hello, Lover Sometimes these days for me move slower, as if this beautiful planet has been put in a state of pause. I feel the time passing in the briefest moments, watching the suns as they cross each other in the sky, seeing their colors when they set at night, I am reminded that the universe is moving around me, right in front of my eyes, but it seems that it is so fast and I am not sure whether it is better to move so fast and see nothing, or to stand so still and see everything.

1. Inception Inception, American sci-fi spine chiller film, delivered in 2010, that investigates the limits among dream and reality. inception focuses on agonizing "extractor" Dom Cobb (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) — a cheat who attacks targets' fantasies through a compound prompted shared dream state to take important data. Having gained notoriety for being the most incredible in his business, Cobb is charged by well off financial specialist Mr. Saito (Ken Watanabe) to assume the extraordinary accomplishment of opposite extraction — inspiring a target to think about a thought, also called origin — to kill a business contender. Cobb gathers a group to endeavor the purportedly unimaginable errand: long-term partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), ace controller Eames (Tom Solid), scientist Yusuf (Dileep Rao), and "engineer" Ariadne (Ellen Page), who is responsible for making the dreamscapes the group will possess. To establish the thought, Cobb and his team should slide through a few layers of dreaming to enter the objective's psyche. All the while, notwithstanding, Cobb's own psyche begins to surface — to lamentable impact. The group is over and over frustrated by a subliminal projection of Cobb's dead spouse, Mal (Marion Cotillard), and Cobb himself is compelled to address whether his world is pretty much as genuine as it appears.

It would be difficult for light-speed spacecraft to communicate, which would be bad news for interstellar travel. We may have been spoilt by science fiction when it came to space communication. Even if we could build a spacecraft that traveled at almost the speed of light, we would struggle to keep in touch with it.
Francis DamiPublished 4 months ago in FuturismTron
Tron is one of my all-time favorite movies, a sci-fi feast that takes place inside a video game world ruled over by the MCP (Master Control Program), a world wherein gladiatorial "programs" battle it out for supremacy, riding rainbow-spewing laser bikes, and going up against floating robot menaces that transform their legs into giant crushing, killing presses. The world is stark, yet weirdly beautiful, an outgrowth of the imagination that conceived a cyberspace realm and brought it to life for the characters to occupy as alternate versions of their meatspace selves. It was groundbreaking stuff in 1982; hence, it flopped at the box office, only attaining cult status in the intervening years, as technology has caught up with and surpassed the virtual world envisioned by the filmmakers.
