The future isn’t neutral—and science fiction has always known that. In this episode, The Sci-Fi Griot examines how sci-fi stories decide who is protected, who is expendable, and who is left behind when societies evolve or collapse. From chosen survivors to forgotten populations, we explore how power, access, and privilege shape imagined futures—and what those choices reveal about our present. This episode challenges us to ask not just what the future looks like, but who it is built for.
