Summary
Can the stories we tell shape the future we build? Devon Eriksen, author of "Theft of Fire" and now Dragon Award finalist, argues that science fiction isn't just entertainment; it's a catalyst for innovation and human progress. Our narratives can be beautiful and optimistic, inspiring us to build, or ugly and pessimistic, causing us to stagnate. It's time to choose. Episode Highlights: Role of Science Fiction in Shaping the Future Symbiotic Relationship Between Science Fiction, Engineering, and Innovation Changing Landscape of Publishing and Distribution Tensions and Connections Between the Media, Artists, and Entrepreneurs Asteroid Mining and the Space Industrial Revolution What's Next? "What's next is a choice. Humanity has a choice between sabotaging this new wave of innovation with the political process or benefiting from it and inheriting the stars."
