Just as the literature of the 19th Century gave way to the movies and TV of the 20th, so have videogames taken over as the artistic medium pushing the boundaries of science fiction.

It is here you will find the futurists of today making the predictions of tomorrow. Games like Starfield, Horizon Zero Dawn (https://carlst-james.medium.com/the-impact-of-horizon-zero-dawn-part-one-ba53e21818f9) Soma, The Last of Us, Portal, Cyberpunk, Deus Ex, Quantum Break and Mirror's Edge all explore interesting ideas and present various interesting scenarios for how things might play out.

The backstory to Horizon is particularly rivetting and presents some really interesting twists on how AR, AI, environmental collapse and international changes.
