A question for the Mastodon hive mind. Do you know of any #scifi + #science crossovers #writing about future perspectives? Leaning more, or at least, based more, on the science?

I have an insane idea for a project that could make my worlds* collide... or never happen. Thoughts?

*Harry is my scifi writing (trying) alter ego, by day I'm an actual scientist.

@HarryTuttle This tickles my brain, reminding me of a possibly DoD project maybe 15 years ago that tried to describe what combat was likely to look like in the near term with emerging technology (tiny drones, smart dust, & stuff like that.) Is that the sort of thing you mean?

@stevendbrewer Yes! That sounds quite close to what I'm looking for. Time-frame is a bit different, but conceptually something in the right direction.

@HarryTuttle Would you like me to try to track it down? @philipbrewer might remember it too.

@stevendbrewer @philipbrewer If you could that would be great. I'd be interested in any case to have a look at what they were thinking.

@HarryTuttle @philipbrewer I haven't turned up the one I saw before, but here is a similar thing: https://threatcasting.asu.edu/sites/default/files/2020-06/Invisible_Force_%5BWEB%5D_0.pdf

I found the link to it in a Medium post, but the article isn't public so I won't share it. But you can probably turn it up quickly enough: "The U.S. Military Is Turning to Science Fiction to Shape the Future of War." It sounds like just what you're looking for.

I'll keep looking for the one I saw before.
