Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Drones of science fiction and reality.
Some of the fantastic creations of past science fiction works are now modern reality. The creative imaginations of authors, directors and prop masters have influenced engineers, researchers and inventors. And many of those working in fiction aim to base their speculation in sound scientific fact. We consider the ways in which science fiction has influenced scientific advances and vice versa.
