Fiction has the ability to convey a million different ideas to a million different people. Here, we understand stories as not only what it tried to be, but what it means to us, and what it could be in the future. Learn how far the concept of capturing a scene can be pushed by some of the greatest minds in history and some of the most forward-thinking people who shaped history within the last century and gave us the modern world as it is.
