There is, somewhat ironically, a techno-conservatism among some sci-fi creators, especially those whose traditional means of making a living have been disrupted by new technology. Most recently the techno-conservatives have targeted NFTs. Which is a shame, because NFTs are the future of science fiction.

If you are a science fiction creator with questions about NFTs please post them to the thread for this episode on the Science Fiction community.
