That’s what I explore each week in Android Dreams: what #scifi can teach us about building the future. Subscribe at android-dreams.beehiiv.com

That’s how deep tech will move forward: imperfect plans + eclectic teams, willing to adapt.

But no single discipline has the answers. Ecosystems are advanced by collisions of physicists, linguists, psychologists, engineers, writers.

And maybe that’s not so wrong. When precedent fails — in quantum, bio, or space — imagination fills the gap. Fiction expands the solution space.

But the real kicker? The entire alien-encounter plan was written years earlier… by a psychologist who borrowed it from Asimov & Rod Serling. Translation: humanity’s “protocol” for first contact came from fiction.

In Sphere, a team of scientists descends to a spacecraft at the bottom of the Pacific. Inside: a flawless golden orb. Their darkest fears become reality.
