What if you had a chance to write a book that could send a message to a large group of people? What would your message be?
What if we were forced to go to a SciFi world, what would we do there? We wouldn't know hardly anything considering it would be so much more advanced than our current society.
What if there were alternate realities which coexisted with our universe, progressing at a similar rate but yet having diverged at a point in our known history to produce a distinctly different world?
What if there was a small group of people working for the government that controlled everything that happens. That everything was fixed, elections, wars, and even who dies on what day and from what?
What if our minds had minds of their own, where they’ve developed the ability to unconsciously deny the actuality of our reality, the answers to all our questions, and the solutions to all our problems due to a heightened ignorance formed by what we think we already know? Therefore, no matter how hard we try, our minds will never let us see what reality actually looks like: only a twisted version built on our ignorance. What then?
What if the average life span of a human was over 200 years.. what would the world as a whole accomplish over time?
What if people had houses that controlled everything they do, whether it's eating, brushing teeth, or even tying shoes? How might this affect the advancement of society? What if these "living" houses turned against their owners?
Pretend you are a technologically advanced green slimy alien who can read minds! What If you discovered the human race on a trip in your space ship? What would you do?Daniel. J

What if the government went to the extent of desensitizing us to make us equal? No sight, taste, hearing, smelling or touching. Would it work?

What if there was a foundation of Sci-Fi writers that were actually the Illuminati and were trying to tell the world (through literature) about what might, could and will happen if the Illuminati come out and reveal themselves? What if no one has caught on yet, and the world is coming closer and closer to the day when they reveal themselves, and all the work the authors put into warning us was for nothing?
What if we could change our past without affecting our future in a negative way? what would u change?
what if a scientist were to create a formula on how to reanimate life, would this have a positive or negative affect toward society?
Fahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451 brought readers into a world of complete technology. Books were scarce and so was intelligence. The main character, Guy Montag, longs for something more than what he is getting in his everyday life. He has no idea what he is seeking until he meets a young girl, Clarisse McClellan, who questioned the meaning of life itself. Montag's job is called a fireman but is quite different from those in society today. He helps burn books and when one woman decides to be burnt alive with her books as if they were a treasure, he can't help but be curious to why she loves those books so much. Throughout the story he reveals a collection of book he managed to secretly take when he was burning the rest. What is Montag seeking? A new meaning to life; knowledge. The real question is, does he find it?
What if everyone were blind? Like, literally. No one could see. Would that change who we had relationships/friendships with?
