Sci-fi writers have a great track record of predicting the future.

Scientists and engineers have an abysmal track record of predicting the future.

You know to be concerned when a claim is dismissed with ‘that’s just science fiction, it will never happen’

Broken clock... They are good at exploring possibilities, but none of the famous one predicted today.

Quite the extraordinary claim. What of today writers of the past did not predict?

Mind you, no one is able to predict the future with accuracy. I am not saying that a single person has gotten all their prediction right. That's ludicrous. But while scientists and engineers are focused on today's possibilities, the ones that are allowed to imagine what the future might look like are called writers.

You are claiming sci-fi writers predicted better than scientists. No way that's true from the perspective you lean on here, where you appear to take all scientists vs all writers or something along the lines.
