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 Have you tried the amazing worlds of @gregeganSF I started with Permutation City and Quarantine. Shorts too. Might be a bit further outside your desire but the best for thinking beyond. Website has all the science.

@kieransweeney @gregeganSF I love his work but what I'm thinking of starts on the other side. I want scientists to predict where they think they might get to in the next 50-100 years, and then have #SciFi authors push them out of their comfort zone to speculate more than they would otherwise feel comfortable with.
