Prophets of Science Fiction

[Mika]

"Oh the weather outside is frightful" and hense I got stuck in the house, watching TV (something I don't do much of anymore, since seeing Avatar).

So the show that caught my eye is called "Prophets of Science Fiction" hosted by none other than Ridley Scott, on American - Discovery Channel. In particular the episode that was on tonight was about Phillip K. Dick, whom is recognized as one of most accurately 'predictive' science fiction writers of the future, as that almost all that he's written about has come to happen, or is already in the process, in particular techological advances, everything from Androids, Robotics, Virtual Reality, etc. (the list is huge).

So every time you pick up your 'video game' you are playing on a 'reality' that Dick predicted long before.
