Kickstarter: 'Cities In The Sky - Science Fiction's Forgotten Visionaries'

If you read this blog or follow me on Twitter you'll find that I love my science fiction, and I discovered this Kickstarter project whilst on my daily news sweep.

Cities in the Sky: Science-Fiction’s Forgotten Visionaries is a Kickstarter funded documentary about the forgotten men and women who have contributed to science fiction, and uncover the origins of ideas we take for granted today. Such as; Aliens, The Internet, Cryogenics, Life extension technologies, Green technology, Robots, Equal Rights, Women in Key Political Positions, Space Travel and much, much more! The documentary will also include interviews with science fiction experts from entertainment, literature, and technology including people who worked on some of today's best known movies and television shows.

As they say:
"Writers like Verne and Wells get a lot of attention and they were no doubt great minds and visionaries, but a shocking number of other creative men and women stand largely unknown or forgotten; we deeply hope that we can help play a role in changing this situation!"

The Kickstarter project closes on February 6; take a look at the Kickstarter page and consider making a pledge. For sci-fi fans, this film could open up a whole new world!
