MAYDAY — Fiction For the Future MAYDAY The world of science fiction, although it sometimes seems so far away from what we know as reality, has roots in the world around us today. Add in some extreme imagination and a radical escalation of human capabilities or imperfections, and there is some pretty viable material to build on.
