Here's a thoughtful quote from science fiction author H.G. Wells.
“We were making the future, he said, and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!”
H. G. Wells
I think this might give writers pause to think about what they represent in their books because of the impact it can have on people. For example, Roddenberry's series, Star Trek portrays a world of equality and fantastic technological innovation that helps people of all civilizations live better.
Technology continues to turn the world upside down. How far will it go? Will robots replace humans in the workplace?

H. G. Wells
Especially poignant, given Wells's politics.
Clever eye you have, James.
