I HAVE never been a fan of science fiction. I am highly suspicious of any too-good-to-be-true claims about “epoch-making” discoveries. But I have also written extensively about the transformative impacts of inventions, from synthetic ammonia for fertiliser production and semiconductor devices in electronics to the, which immunises against a range of diseases.
