The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts. Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g. Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g. Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history. Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

How does Einstein’s description of space and time compare with Doctor Who? Can James Bond really escape from an armor-plated railroad car by cutting through the floor with a laser concealed in a wristwatch? What would it take to create a fully intelligent android, such as Star Trek’s Commander Data? Exploring Science Through Science Fiction addresses these and other intriguing questions, using science fiction as a springboard for discussing fundamental science concepts and cutting-edge science research. It includes references to original research papers, landmark scientific publications and technical documents, as well as a broad range of science literature at a more popular level. The revised second edition includes expanded discussions on topics such as gravitational waves and black holes, machine learning and quantum computing, gene editing, and more. In all, the second edition now features over 220 references to specific scenes in more than 160 sci-fi movies and TV episodes, spanning over 100 years of cinematic history. Designed as the primary text for a college-level course, this book will appeal to students across the fine arts, humanities, and hard sciences, as well as any reader with an interest in science and science fiction. Praise for the first edition: "This journey from science fiction to science fact provides an engaging and surprisingly approachable read..."

As a child, I was always drawn to the captivating allure of science fiction stories. The idea of exploring new worlds, encountering strange creatures, and delving into the mysteries of the universe fascinated me to no end. I would spend hours immersed in the pages of books, imagining myself as an intrepid explorer venturing into the unknown. As I grew older, my love for science fiction only deepened. I realized that it was not just the thrill of adventure that drew me to these stories, but also the profound sense of wonder and curiosity they inspired in me. Science fiction, with its imaginative and often mind-bending concepts, allowed me to escape the confines of reality and explore the boundless possibilities of the human imagination. I soon discovered that I was not alone in my fascination with science fiction. People of all ages, from young children to seasoned adults, were equally enthralled by the genre. It seemed that there was something universal about the appeal of science fiction - something that transcended age, gender, and background. But what was it that made science fiction so irresistible to so many people? Was it the allure of fantastical worlds and futuristic technology, or the thrill of encountering the unknown? Perhaps it was a combination of both - a powerful blend of imagination and exploration that captivated the hearts and minds of readers everywhere. For me, reading science fiction was a journey of discovery - a chance to step outside the boundaries of reality and into a realm of limitless possibilities. It was a way to question the status quo, challenge the limits of what we know, and imagine a future that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying... So whether you are a child dreaming of distant planets, a teenager pondering the mysteries of the universe, or an adult grappling with the complexities of our world, science fiction has something to offer everyone. It is a genre that transcends age and time, inviting us all to embark on a journey of discovery and exploration that is as thrilling as it is enlightening...)

Science fiction is the playground of the imagination. If you are interested in science or fascinated with the future then science fiction is where you explore new ideas and let your dreams and nightmares duke it out on the safety of the page or screen. But what if we could use science fiction to do more than that? What if we could use science fiction based on science fact to not only imagine our future but develop new technologies and products? What if we could use stories, movies and comics as a kind of tool to explore the real world implications and uses of future technologies today? Science Fiction Prototyping is a practical guide to using fiction as a way to imagine our future in a whole new way. Filled with history, real world examples and conversations with experts like best selling science fiction author Cory Doctorow, senior editor at Dark Horse Comics Chris Warner and Hollywood science expert Sidney Perkowitz, Science Fiction Prototyping will give you the tools you need to begin designing the future with science fiction. The future is Brian David Johnson’s business. As a futurist at Intel Corporation, his charter is to develop an actionable vision for computing in 2021. His work is called “future casting”—using ethnographic field studies, technology research, trend data, and even science fiction to create a pragmatic vision of consumers and computing. Johnson has been pioneering development in artificial intelligence, robotics, and reinventing TV. He speaks and writes extensively about future technologies in articles and scientific papers as well as science fiction short stories and novels (Fake Plastic Love and Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing and the Devices We Love). He has directed two feature films and is an illustrator and commissioned painter. Table of Contents: Preface / Foreword / Epilogue / Dedication / Acknowledgments / 1. The Future Is in Your Hands / 2.
