Most people give me an odd look when I say I took a class on “Science Fiction Prototyping.” It’s not exactly a clear term. Are you prototyping science fiction stories? Prototyping some other kind of fiction using science? Prototyping science with fiction?
Bingo!

It used to be a futuristic fantasy exclusively portrayed at the box office, where artificially intelligent machines guised as humans could walk, talk and ride motorcycles with one hand while toting a sawed-off shotgun in the other.
