is anyone systematically mapping sci-fi concepts to the real companies and scientists building them?
it's pretty well documented that tech founders treat sci-fi as a product roadmap. palmer luckey has been open about it with oculus and anduril, musk named spacex's drone ships after iain m. banks' culture vessels, and neal stephenson coined "metaverse" decades before anyone tried to build one.
what i'm looking for: institutes, publications, newsletters, or communities that actively track this. not listicles about star trek gadgets that came true, but ongoing mapping of speculative fiction concepts to the actual labs, startups, and scientists developing them.
closest i've found are asu's center for science and the imagination and sci-fi prototyping consultancies like scifutures, but neither is quite a living map. does anything like this exist?
