>> very little science fiction has actually become real > People went to the moon. That's actually a fairly interesting example. People went to the moon, so (narrowly) you could count that as "sci-fi becoming real." However, more broadly, science fiction is about more than about technology, and the world with that technology hasn't turned out anything like the sci-fi zeitgeist depicted. Sci-fi can throw a lot of ideas about technology at the wall, and some will stick, especially vague/easy ones like "smaller computers," but it tends to get everything else wrong. When people "believe in sci-fi," I think they believe in that "everything else."
