by Aaron Saenz

I love great science fiction, especially when it takes the scientific truths of today and cranks them up a notch. That’s probably why I’m hooked on the ScyFy channel’s newest drama, Caprica. It is a prequel series to the immensely popular Battlestar Galactica (BSG) reboot which concluded in 2009. The new series is set sixty years before BSG and features a society filled with advanced technology and angst. What kind of technology, you ask? Basically all the cool gadgets we’ve ever discussed here on Singularity Hub, taken to the next level. Augmented reality, robots, personal projectors, Caprica likes to throw these in to round out their vision of a futuristic world. However, the importance of these technologies in society definitely takes center stage. The central plot of the show revolves around how humanity will change as synthetic life comes into existence. We in the real world are going to be facing that issue ourselves, much sooner than people think. Don’t believe me?
