I m a political junkie from way back, a Yankee fan who has to be careful to admit it in South Carolina, and a sci-fi aficionado from the days when fiction was more implausible than reality.
Time travel is the one that still commands the most attention, though.
Journeying back to the good old days will always hold great appeal, but more and more today we re attempting to peer into the future. Whether it s personal or business, we spend most of our time envisioning the near future and the steps required to be in the right place at the right time. Even with Moore s Law, it s unlikely that we ll see enough horsepower to build a time machine anytime soon. And there s Murphy s Law to warn us from trying to tinker with either the past or the Terminator future. But inventing the future has a funny way of working out, even if the first draft turns out to be far removed from the finished product.
