Sci-Fi
« on: February 06, 2021, 10:22:47 AM »
Just remember its been Sci-Fi that has predicted things which were true years later.
Flip phones, hand held computers, medical advancements, voice recognition with a computer, flat screen tvs and monitors, electric vehicles, fully autonomous drones , the internet, or something like it, robotics, rail guns, the list goes on and continuing.

Apocalyptic side, cities burning and crumbling.
Like a new thread here 1984, world wide virus, no zombies yet lol. America gone.

Remember Dick Tracy's wrist radio from the comic strip back in about 1949? Now we have the Apple watch.

I'm back on a John Ringo reading kick. I ran across one of his stories that I hadn't read browsing on the Fantastic Fiction website and could find it only in book form from Amazon. I bought a "used" paperback copy that turned out to be brand new and finished reading it last night. It contained a trailer to another of his books that I haven't read and of course it's a two book series. At least I can get these on Kindle.

I haven't read anything by him in a long time. Into the looking glass was the last one I read. He used to write short stories for Analog when they were still around.
