вслед за интересной дискуссией о Леме и его видении научной фантастики, тут же заметил у Стерлинга краткий пересказ 8 проблем, озвученных Йэном Маклеодом:

  • Future not dominated by Western culture and its archaic Western concepts of “futurity”
  • Future subjects of fiction not “people” as we know human beings today
  • Space travel not what we once imagined, and faster-than-light travel flatly impossible
  • Science becoming arcane and ultraspecialized, while the nature of reality may well be beyond any human/scientific comprehension
  • “Alien life forms” likely unrecognizable, may not exist at all, or may be among us already, just not understood as alien
  • Basic technical infrastructure of a future society incomprehensible to us
  • Radical language drift makes future indescribable within present-day literature
  • We may have no future due to human/planetary mass extinction

и правильно: НФ — это прежде всего футурология.
