As a science-fiction writer, one of the greatest challenges I face is writing a reality that’s in any way stranger than the interesting times we live in now, with an additional burden: If reality doesn’t make sense, why does fiction have to? At a time where technology is now leading us to fundamental alterations in every aspect of the world we inhabit, it’s the job of sci-fi creators and futurists, as defined by author Charles Stross, to find systems that “mimic the patterns of the real world, and give us the chance to infer the intentions of the hidden manipulators. And that’s why near-future SF remains relevant—and dangerous—in the ‘post-truth’ era.”

The world we live in is not only tremendously more complicated than any of us were aware, it is going through multiple transformations at an ever-accelerating pace. But in these times if there’s one message we should pay heed to, it’s that of another great sci-fi writer, Douglas Adams: DON’T PANIC.
