How Science Fiction Can Save Us How Science Fiction Can Save Us: Three scientists share their bold vision for turning stories into testable experiments

Check out the latest article "How Science Fiction Can Save Us" by @jfbonnefon.bsky.social, @iyadrahwan.bsky.social, and @azimshariff.bsky.social. 📝

It’s a deep dive into their paper published last year in Nature, 'The science fiction science method' :
