• Social Media Is Science Fiction

  by Annalee Newitz, Charlie Jane Anders, Matt Thompson, Maureen McHugh and Molly Crabapple

  What do science fiction stories tell us about how social networking and user-generated content will evolve? How it will affect us as a civilization? Futurists and SF writers will explore real possibilities for the next fifty years of social media - and debunk bad futurism that predicts either total abundance or complete apocalypse.
