A narrative in the tradition of science fiction with scientific and technical predictions about the fate of the world. The brilliant engineer Jules took his invention - the Nautilus submarine - away from people into the depths of the sea and remained the first technical hero in literature. And although the first submarine was built back in 1720, readers give the copyright of this invention to J. Verne. When Herbert Wells in his novel, in its pure chemical form, identified the main human temptation - unlimited power, he gave it the name “atomic bomb”. It was then that the discoverer of the chain reaction, Leo Szilard, said that Wells was the first to give an accurate description of an atomic explosion... William Gibson denied the prophetic nature of his novel Neuromancer, citing the fact that he was not interested in the world inside computers and networks, but in those who are on this side of the cyberspace created by his imagination. What new things are in store for earthlings in the imagination of science fiction writers? Happiness for everyone? And is it true that no one will leave?..
