The Future | Science, Fantasy or Fiction? By Alex Sargeant [19 more lists]

Futuristic science books, fiction & fantasy are a tech toy tease. From NASA space colonies to flying cars, science is long overdue on all the stuff Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron and Stanley Kubrick have been promising us since birth. And I for one will not rest until science delivers on my damn time traveling Delorean. After all, with all the time they spent perfecting botox, they could certainly have figured out the personal cloaking device already. It's time to keep science honest people!

Flying Cars

I want a flying car so hard! I want a flying car so hard that I will end a sentence with “so hard”... that's how hard I want a flying car!

You've been promising this for too long Science! I want it, and I want it now... so hard!

Jet Packs

Personal flying devices! They already make these! If Sony can cut the price and size of a PS3 in half, I don’t see why they can’t do that with a jet pack!

Regular Interplanetary Flight

Besides Dr. Manhattan, I don’t know of anyone that can travel between planets on a regular basis.

I’ll take a Moonbase. Seriously, I don’t have to go to Mars on vacation, but I want to at least be able to leave Earth every once and a while.

Cure For Everything

This one is a bit trickier, but come on! When was the last time Science cured something! Polio? Hurry the f**k up and cure something already!

Time Machines

We could make billions selling these to Born-Again Christians! Allowing them to travel back in time to get their virginity back would a huge market!

Actually, I can't see any other market for a Time Machine, so you can hold off on this one until we get some of the other things on this list.

Personal Cloaking Devices

These exist! I know they exist! Don’t pretend they don’t exist! I want one and I want it now!

Light Speed

This lends itself to the whole interplanetary flight thing! Get this and it’s a twofer!

Listen, Science, I’m no Scientist, and I don’t want to tell your how to do your job or anything, but it’s pretty easy. All you have to do is make a spaceship that goes… wait for it… the speed of light. Bam, done! Next!

Sea Labs

It’s not even in space! Come on! That water’s been there since we wiggled our fishy way out of it! You’d think we could at least have one giant sea lab!

(I know one already exists, but that one is crappy, and it’s nothing like I imagine in my brain. More sexy, and less sciencey!)

Food Pills

“Will you be having the Turkey Dinner, or will you be having the Steak Dinner?”
“I’ll have the Steak Dinner please.”
“Here’s your pill Sir.”
“Thank you. Mmmmm, tastes like a whole Steak Dinner!”

I don’t know what food company has you by the balls Science, but punch them in the face and get me my food pills!

Space Communities

I don’t mean a space station. I mean a giant space community where idiots like myself can contribute nothing to society… in space!
