I believe that understanding the future, adapting to it, and releasing past thinking are best achieved through science fiction. We need to start reading science fiction to suspend our current belief systems and launch ourselves into a new paradigm of existence guided by artificial intelligence.
Personally, I find that my thinking is often limited by past experiences, which makes it challenging to create a new personal identity that can thrive in a highly technological world. Now, I primarily read science fiction to think differently and shift my identity towards that of a man of the future.
