Science Fiction’s Take on the Future of Computers: Visionaries and Imaginaries
byKevin Anderson (TheKJA)17-10-201106:00 AM- edited 17-10-201103:14 PM
As a science fiction writer, I am often asked about the genre’s track record in predicting the future, and certainly SF has had some great successes. My favorite anecdote, hands down, is about the little-known pulp science fiction author Cleve Cartmill, who in 1944 wrote a story called “Deadline” for Astounding Stories in which he described in great detail a secret government program (on an alien world) that was developing a super-weapon based on the fission of Uranium-235. Since at the time the U.S. government had just such a secret program, the Manhattan Project, developing just such a U-235 nuclear weapon, the FBI showed up at Cartmill’s door and demanded to know who had leaked the information; it took him some time to convince them that he’d just made it up.
Science fiction has had some major predictive flops as well, such as when SF legend Isaac Asimov famously suggested that computers would become so big and so powerful that they would eventually grow to the size of planets. Or when Robert Heinlein has his advanced astrogators calculating star navigation using slide-rules. Or when Frank Herbert had scientists in a far-future society hooking up magnetic reel-to-reel tapes…
Over the past century a lot of science fiction has been published, showcasing a lot of wild ideas, and if you sit enough authors at enough typewriters or word processors, somebody is bound to get a few things right. Science fiction’s greater influence, though, goes beyond whether or not the authors can make a good guess.
Rather than predicting the future, the SF genre is much better at inspiring the future. Visionaries read or see cool ideas in their favorite SF books or films, then decide how to make it a reality.
I did a lot of research on the life of Jules Verne for my recent novel Captain Nemo. Verne is often credited with predicting the sub-marine boat, but the idea had been around long before he ever wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. However, the designers of the world’s first nuclear submarine, launched in 1954, claimed to be inspired by Verne to make such a vessel a reality. Appropriately, the first nuclear sub was christened the Nautilus.
Verne wrote, “What one man can imagine, another can achieve.”
And science fiction writers can imagine a lot. Watch classic Star Trek, and each time Captain Kirk opens his (now rather large and clunky) communicator, you’ll see the inspiration for cell phones. Mr. Spock’s tricorder inspired generations of PDAs, from the Apple Newton to the Palm Pilot and beyond. In the late 1980s in Star Trek: The Next Generation, each time Captain Picard used a personal datapad he was holding the inspiration for a modern tablet computer. In the film Minority Report, based on a Philip K. Dick short story, one of the most striking visual gimmicks is the directly manipulable window- and icon-based computer interface; in the (at the time) wildly futuristic scenes, Tom Cruise uses his hands to open and resize windows, move them around, touch icons … you know, the same stuff we do every day on smartphone screens or iPads.
Some science fiction visionary imagined those things, and some tech visionary figured out how to make them a reality.
I asked several of my SF writer colleagues to turn on their imaginations, let their ideas flow, and sound off on any aspect of where they thought the future of computing might go. Maybe they’ll inspire new technologies we will all be using in a few years.
Here’s what they came up with:
Mike Resnick has won more major awards than any other writer in the history of the genre, with a trophy case groaning under the weight of countless Hugos, Nebulas, and other awards. He says:
Let me begin by saying that although I've made my living writing science fiction on my computer since 1982, I know very little about it except that 1) I hate it, 2) I fear it, and 3) I need it.
Now, one of the reasons for this attitude is that I am officially an Old Guy, and I can remember objects things that our kids have never seen and probably don't believe in, things like typewriters and ovens that aren't microwaves.
I think the biggest problem with computers is that they were created by hackers for other cognoscenti, and they're still not wildly user-friendly. To get back to microwaves for a moment, how widespread do you think they'd be if you had to learn as much about how to use them as you do about your PC or your Mac?
