What should be the role of science fiction (SF) in informing how we
develop and govern science and technology? Some SF is just for fun, some SF explores what it means to be human under different
circumstances, and other SF imagines strange new worlds, including new kinds
of humans, new kinds of machines and new kinds of worlds. SF is also
cited by many scientists and engineers as an impetus for their career
choice. But are there other ways that SF should do more to try to guide society?
