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 think I may have found it. http://www.mcwl.marines.mil/Portals/34/Documents/FuturesAssessment/Marine%20Corps%20Science%20Fiction%20Futures%202016_12_9.pdf?ver=2016-12-09-105855-733

I found it linked to from this article: https://futurism.com/from-sci-fi-to-reality-the-future-of-warfare
