Fast consumer good delivery is pretty far from what I consider the best science fiction can offer.


The best new technology in science fiction might be warp drive. However, that's currently thought to be physically impossible.

Fast consumer delivery is merely impractical. It's so impractical, that we often think of it as impossible. But this is where science fiction is at its best: if we think about how cool it would be if this actually worked, we may find it easier to justify the kinds of investment needed to make it practical.


What about Energy? Loads and loads of it without harming the environment? I thought THAT would be pretty cool sci-fi tech
