And the heroes were scientists
Humanity is exploring the deep corners of the universe to discover more resources to exploit.
Even Superman had hover taxis by 1990.
One of the defining characteristics of that eras literature, not just sci-fi, is a reflection of the cultural belief in a narrative history.
The belief that society will advance, and that there's an inevitable direction that things will go even if there are setbacks.
Are there any particularly good sci-fi novels with wild and imaginative ideas? I love trying to visualize and recreate the scenes in my mind after reading a novel.
