Quando le tecnologie emergenti cominciano a ricordare prototipi già incontrati in mondi immaginari si invoca la fantascienza. Ma cosa può dirci esattamente la fantascienza sui futuri tecnologici? Presenteremo cinque modi di leggere e interpretare la fantascienza: come estrapolazione, narrazione, giudizio narrativo, metafora o strategia.

This talk introduces five different ways of reading science fiction: as extrapolation, as narrative, as normative judgement, as metaphor, and as strategy.
