We're looking ahead. A superficial
reading might hint that The Speculist is all about the robots,
the artificial intelligences (both friendly and unfriendly), the
space elevators, the nanotechnology, the rapid replicators, the
3-D chess boards, the interstellar space voyages, the voyages
through time to world's that never were, the medical breakthroughs,
the movie reviews, the cute pet stories, the cosmological ruminations,
the paranormal debunkings, and -- let's not forget -- the occasional
photo of a hot woman in a bikini, when called for, nay demanded,
by the context of the accompanying story.
But there's more to it than just
that. We're looking ahead. The future is unfolding before us and
all around us. Can we predict what's coming next? Can we anticipate
it?
Well, maybe...
