The line between science fiction and true science is often thin
In 1990, Isaac Asimov was working on a TV series to bridge science fiction and science fact, "synthesizing his visionary ideas about where humanity is going." He passed away in 1992, and the series never progressed beyond the pilot, which was re-worked and released as the documentary
Visions of the Future
(YouTube playlist,
via Brainpickings
, which calls the video "essentially, the antithesis to
the Future Shock [documentary] narrated by Orson Welles
").

We, the undersigned, think you're untalented.
Why do over
20000 people
think that RnB singer
Ashanti
didn't
deserve
her
Soul Train Lady of Soul Entertainer of the Year
award? What does Soul Train
make of all this
?
