Patrick J. Gyger La Maison d’ailleurs

Directs a Science fiction museum and is not so impressed with where we are now.
Jules Vernes at the begining of the century led to the begining of science fiction (1930’s) and Astonishing, Wonder, Super man...

Science Fiction even shaped consumer goods. It became a style, a product up to the 60’s(kitchen, cars, alcohol....) Do better, faster through technology

There was a time where the future was glamourous. Some of the concepts exist today, but the issue is where are the vision of tomorrow today?
None? We already live in “utopia” (food, housing, education...)
Actuelly, we live in dystopia where technology is no longer a savior but really a threat.

-> There is a History of the future worth looking at with the hopes and the fears of the ones before us. Science fiction allows us to question the notion of progress.
