				Science fiction is the go-to genre when you're looking for a glimpse of the future. Joel Achenbach makes a persuasive case in the Sunday <em><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/11/AR2008041103328.html?hpid=opinionsbox1&sid=ST2008041400873">Washington Post</a></em> that the best way to stay in front of the dizzying pace of technological progress is to keep up on your Star Trek and take what Arthur C. Clarke wrote to heart. He also quotes Foresight Nanotech Institute President Christine Peterson, who says, "If you look out into the long-term future and what you see looks like science fiction, it might be wrong. But if it doesn't look like science fiction, it's definitely wrong."				<a href="http://io9.com/379765/future-scenarios-that-dont-look-like-scifi-are-wrong" title="Click here to read more about Future Scenarios that Don't Look Like SciFi Are Wrong">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
