How it works
- Each entry maps fiction context to real-world status, barriers, and practical next actions.
- Users can browse by Full Ideas, Next Steps, Search, and deep-dive science/method notes.
- References open in-app so readers can validate claims without losing context.
Why it matters
- Great for students, educators, and lifelong learners who want evidence, not viral “breakthrough” clips.
- No third-party analytics in the base template; privacy and rights language is user-facing and clear.
- Designed to encourage critical thinking, not passive consumption of speculative tech headlines.
