Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well. The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

Sci Fi Predictions That Came True: 10 Real Inventions (and What's Next...)

What if the technology you use every single day was first imagined in science fiction?

From Star Trek communicators that look suspiciously like smartphones, to AI, video calls, and self-driving cars that once lived only in novels and movies, science fiction has been predicting — and inspiring — the future for over a century.

In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Zach & Jim break down 10 technologies that first appeared in classic sci-fi books, movies, and TV shows… and are now part of everyday life. We’ll talk about where these ideas first appeared, when they actually became real, and how often sci-fi writers were shockingly ahead of their time.

Then, to wrap things up, we look forward, discussing three technologies currently found in modern sci-fi that are most likely to become real someday. Are we closer than we think? Or should some ideas stay firmly in fiction?

If you love science fiction, speculative ideas, and thoughtful nerdy discussion, this one’s right in the Fantasy for the Ages wheelhouse.
