Science fiction is prophetic,often predicting future visions that are never possible,as much as critiquing the past and present.Imaginative science fiction often predates modern technology and cities,and is much more than the narrow pop-culture definition given to stories about spaceships and intergalactic battles.It is not a rare case for science fiction to have successful predictions of future technology like atomic power.Authors of science fiction speculate on the possibilities of conquering new spatial territories in the universe,and contribute to the cultural imagination.The physical scale of infrastructures in science fiction is often employed as a literary device,usually to enlarge the scope of the imagination and the intensity of the scenario.With the severity of climate change,mass migration,and global housing crises,speculative visions today should embrace the ambitions and extrapolative predictive power of science fiction.
