science fiction

The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.

The Garden of Echoes
1 The mansion didn’t look abandoned at first. From the street, it shimmered under the full moon, all glass and steel, reflecting the city lights in impossible angles. But when I stepped inside, the air was thick with decay.

Future Technology Trends, AI Tools, and How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Work and Life
Future Technology Trends, AI Tools, and How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Work and Life Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea only found in high-end research facilities or science fiction films. It is here, subtly and quickly altering the way we work, learn, produce, and even think. AI is now a potent force influencing modern life, from the software that powers multinational corporations to the apps on our phones.

About Binding Prometheus. Top Story - January 2026.
I want to start actively advocating on behalf of my own work, and the most valuable part of my canon is, without a doubt, Binding Prometheus, the play I have been working on since 2019 and only finished in 2023 as part of my MA. The play itself is an amalgamation of a million different inspirations. On one end, it evokes the Ancient Greek myth-play, deriving its own title from the earliest extant work of Western drama we have, Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound. On the other end, it borrows significantly from the sci-fi bulwarks from over the years, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. The play could be an episode of Black Mirror, I fear. I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen one episode of Black Mirror.

The World's First Screenless Laptop Has Arrived. Welcome To The Future Of Computing
In a world where every new laptop seems to push pixels harder than the last, one startup has taken a radically different path: eliminating the screen entirely. The Spacetop G1, developed by Israel-based Sightful, has arrived as what many are calling the world’s first screenless laptop — a device that challenges everything we think a computer must be. � IoT Worlds Rather than a traditional display, this new breed of laptop uses augmented reality (AR) glasses to project a massive virtual workspace — up to the size of a 100-inch screen — in front of the user. The concept sounds like it comes straight out of a sci-fi novel, but it’s now very much a real product. � IoT Worlds A Laptop Without a Display? How It Works At its core, the Spacetop G1 retains the familiar elements of a portable computer: a physical keyboard, trackpad, and processing hardware. But instead of an integrated LCD or OLED panel, the laptop relies on a pair of AR glasses that connect wirelessly and project your workspace into your line of sight. That means your browser windows, email, video calls, and productivity apps appear “floating” in virtual space wherever you choose to look. � IoT Worlds In practical terms, this lets users have a massive display experience — the equivalent of a 100-inch screen — without lugging around a bulky physical monitor. The invisible display also promises to reduce eye strain and neck fatigue by allowing users to position their digital workspace at eye level. � IoT Worlds Under the hood, the device runs a customized version of SpaceOS (built atop Chromium OS), supports web-based applications like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, and includes enough computing power for everyday productivity tasks. It also boasts a 5MP camera integrated via the glasses for video calls and eight hours of battery life on a single charge. � IoT Worlds The Promise of a Screenless Future The idea of ditching physical screens isn’t entirely new. For decades, technologists have dreamed of wearable displays, holographic interfaces, and virtual desktops that free us from the constraints of physical monitors. What makes the Spacetop significant is that it’s one of the first consumer-ready products to bring that vision into a real device. � IoT Worlds Advocates of the technology argue that traditional screens limit our productivity and mobility. A screen adds weight, consumes power, and fixes a workspace in front of us — all things that limit how and where we work. By contrast, a screenless device lets you: Customize your visual workspace — literally wherever you look. Expand screen “real estate” without carrying large hardware. Seamlessly switch between tasks in a larger virtual environment. � IoT Worlds From this perspective, the Spacetop is not just a quirky gadget — it’s a glimpse into what computing might look like in a world where physical displays slowly fade away, replaced by wearable or spatial interfaces. A Product Poised Between Novelty and Revolution That said, the screenless laptop is not yet a mainstream phenomenon. Critics — including tech communities on Reddit — have pointed out that right now, a screenless laptop like the Spacetop G1 is still essentially a Chromebook plus AR glasses packaged together, and may not yet be compelling enough for most consumers. The glasses lock you into a specific hardware and software ecosystem, and some argue you could already build a similar setup by combining a traditional laptop and AR headset for less money. � Reddit There are also practical hurdles: productivity software ecosystems are still optimized for physical displays, AR glasses can be uncomfortable for long sessions, and battery life must improve to compete with traditional laptops. Some users have even dismissed early versions of the product as “a solution looking for a problem” until the technology matures further. � Reddit Why This Matters Now The arrival of a screenless laptop comes at a moment when computing trends are rapidly shifting. Augmented reality and spatial computing are growing fields, pushed forward by major companies like Apple, Meta, and others who are investing heavily in AR glasses and mixed reality headsets. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence — another major trend shaping tech right now — is making voice and gesture interfaces far more capable and intuitive. � Built In A screenless laptop effectively sits at the intersection of AR and AI: a device designed to reduce visual clutter and distractions, freeing users to interact with their computers in more human, natural ways — through gestures, voice commands, and context-aware AI responses. This aligns with broader industry efforts, including rumored screenless AI devices being developed by industry heavyweights like OpenAI and legendary designer Jony Ive, which aim to create even more intuitive, ambient computing experiences. � AIBase News Looking Ahead Whether the Spacetop G1 leads a broader shift away from physical screens or remains a niche product for early adopters remains to be seen. What is clear is that computing’s future may not look like the clamshell laptops of the past. As hardware evolves — from foldable and rollable screens to transparent displays and AR-driven interfaces — the very notion of how we interact with our digital world is being reimagined. � Forbes For now, the world’s first screenless laptop stands as a bold experiment — a challenge to our assumptions about screens and a signal that the next era of computing may be less about what’s in front of us and more about what’s around us.

Star Crash
Star Crash is a wonky, bottom-feeder Star Wars rip-off from 1978, with an ensemble cast of cult movie icons, including Marjoe “Mausoleum” Gortner, Caroline Munro, Joe “Maniac” Spinell, Christopher Plummer, and—by God—the Hoff himself, David Hasselhoff, pre-"Knight Rider," pre-"Baywatch," but still every bit the sexy-bad muthafucka.

Are We Becoming Cyborgs? A Look at Humanity’s Future in a Tech-Obsessed World
The last 100 years have been downright crazy when it comes to technological progress. I mean, for thousands of years, humans slowly invented things, but nothing, nothing compares to what we’ve seen in just a single century. We went from horse-drawn carriages to landing on the moon, and now we’ve got phones that can basically do everything… except, unfortunately, make us a sandwich.

Blade Runner . Top Story - December 2025.
These days, androids might very well dream of electric sheep. In 1982, not so much. Blade Runner takes place six years in our past, as per the present timeline. Other timelines, we don't know. Perhaps there, Replicants rule the lives of meat sacks, and the Imperial Skinjobs are all as beautiful as Rutger Hauer or Daryl Hannah are in Blade Runner.
