Well, gene editing like CRISPR. It's as if we've stepped into a world where we can directly manipulate the building blocks of life, which used to be pure science fiction. Also, 3D - printed organs. The concept of creating functional organs using a printer is mind - boggling and very much like something out of a science fiction story.
One example is the Trojan War. A huge war fought over a woman, Helen, with a giant wooden horse used as a ruse. It seems like something out of a fantastical story but is part of ancient history.
One example could be 'Welcome to Night Vale'. It has a unique and immersive sound design with its strange announcements and ambient background noises that really bring the fictional town to life.
At the moment, it's a bit hard to name a brand new band that is fully centered around science fiction. However, some new bands might be influenced by science fiction movies or books. For example, a band might take inspiration from the cyberpunk genre in science fiction and create music with a lot of electronic and synthetic sounds, kind of like what you'd expect in a high - tech, dystopian future city.
I'm not sure of specific works titled 'sight and sound pulp fiction' directly. But some classic pulp fiction like the works of Raymond Chandler often have very visual descriptions of the seedy underbelly of cities and the characters' appearances. And the sharp dialogue gives an auditory sense. Another could be the pulp adventure stories where there are descriptions of wild landscapes (sight) and the sounds of battles or the jungle (sound).
One example is 'Jurassic Park'. It involves the science of genetics and cloning, though highly dramatized. The movie shows how scientists might be able to bring extinct dinosaurs back to life using DNA from fossils. Another example is '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Here, the concept of artificial intelligence is explored through HAL 9000. And in 'Ender's Game', the military strategy and the use of technology in space battles are part of the'science of fiction' in that story.
The 'Culture' series by Iain M. Banks. In this series, the Culture is an extremely advanced civilization with god - like technology, such as the ability to manipulate matter and energy on a vast scale.
Maybe it's because it involves concepts that are far beyond our current common understanding. For example, some advanced AI technologies that can seemingly predict the future or read minds seem like they're straight out of a science fiction story.
Sure. One example is invisibility cloaks. In science fiction, characters can put on a cloak and become invisible. In real - life research, scientists are exploring ways to bend light around objects to create a sort of invisibility effect, though it's still far from the fully - fledged invisibility cloaks in fiction. Another is flying cars. They are a staple in science - fiction movies, and while there are some prototypes being developed, they are not yet a common mode of transportation.
One example could be a science fiction story where the characters are constantly reading and being influenced by other fictional science fiction works within the story's universe.
Sure. One example is smart homes where appliances and systems are connected and can be controlled by voice commands. Another is wearable technology like smartwatches that can monitor our health and connect us to the internet. Also, the idea of augmented reality being used in shopping, like trying on clothes virtually in a store.
