Science Fiction has helped the world advance in countless ways but it has also predicted, or perhaps ushered in, a lot of dystopian ideas of a bleak future.  Willy Dee & I discuss some of the technological advances that were inspired by science fiction & the darker side of sci-fi that seems to be coming true before our eyes.
