Summary/Abstract: Science fiction was, both as a literary genre and through its presence in film and television, the object of many disciplines until present time. The idea of inevitable technological progress and scientific development as basis of the future of human worlds is present as one of key science fiction motifs. This paper’s aim is to use the specificities of anthropology as a discipline so it could observe reflections of the construction and constitution of technological systems, and, even more importantly, their promises in science fiction literature and genre in general.
