A brave new world or a yet darker future

Science fiction uses the future as a fertile soil in which to lay new ideas and revisit old concepts. The way in which the utopian model has evolved over the last century is in my opinion one of the most startling in events that has been pushed forward by science fiction thus far. What we see as new and refreshing is in many ways a reflection of our values as a postindustrial global community. What we believe to be utopian is little more than the idealized ponderings of a culture that has reached its epoch and needs new and drastic measures in order to reinvigorate its population. “Everything most change and nothing last forever” this quote encapsulates the quintessential problem with progress, the things that we see as familiar today are the very same things that we remember to be familiar tomorrow. One of the primary reasons I enjoy science fiction is its perpetual dance with the past and future. Science fiction borrows ideas and concepts from the general world history and then recycles them and projects them into the the near or distant future. For example historical events such as the rise of the Hitler will be revisited and remixed by the science fiction genre into a whole new distinctively different idealized reality.
