![]() ![]() Scott Johnson doesn’t try to be the prognosticators of prognosticators, but he does dive headfirst into foreign waters when it comes to high-tech advancements and virtual reality. Being able to relate to the main protagonist is essential for those who can’t wrap their minds around the crazy or instantly invest in the ideas the author is exploring. And for me, it’s one of the greatest roads a man can travel to free his imagination.īut to make the unrealistic work, a writer needs to inhabit his world with well-developed, believable characters that can draw the reader in. It’s a way to study the what-if of human nature, to explore the tendencies of mankind and provide a unique opinion on what might happen if we continue down the road we all travel at any given point in time. Others have seen the future, or created technology and got it wrong, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t any less worthwhile. The best sci-fi writers have a tendency to predict the future, the best of which have already innovated new technology before its time. That’s because science fiction is inherently unrealistic - until it isn’t. I believe it’s because they tend to explore the human condition while having the liberty to traverse strange new worlds and are provided the freedom to turn everything upside down on a whim without being branded impossible. ![]() For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved the idea of aliens and other worlds, futuristic technology and time travel. ![]()
