Un article de Ben Bova sur la SF

[jerome]

Ben Bova vient de signer un article en anglais intitulé : It's only science fiction until technology catches up.

Voici le début :

"It seems that whenever somebody disagrees with my opinion, they bring up the fact that I write science fiction.

Last month Reinhold Schmieding, president and founder of Arthrex Inc., derided my columns about the future potential of gene therapy, calling it “wishful thinking” and “science fiction.” This, from a person who runs a company that manufactures orthopedic surgical supplies, items of biomedical technology that just a few short years ago were (dare I say it?) science fiction.

You see, science fiction has a way of coming true. Not all of it, of course. But quite a bit. There isn’t an aspect of our modern world that wasn’t written about in science fiction decades, even generations ago."
