* [[John C. Wright]]'s ''[[The Golden Oecumene]]'' trilogy, which has interstellar travel that respects the speed of light, and ''[[Hermetic Millenium]]'', which is [[Space Opera]] set as hard an SF future as he could write.

* ''[[Moon]]'': Minus the [[Space Is Noisy]]<ref>Which is ''almost'' justifiable; only close-ups have noise and it may be what Sam himself is hearing from inside a spacesuit.</ref> and {{spoiler|cloning}} it was so spot on, NASA personnel who screen tested the film just to see how close they got it were pretty impressed. The best explanation is when one of them asked the Director, "Why does the base look like a bunker?", he replied that he figured that it would just be easier (and cheaper) to transpose stuff that already existed onto the moon -- and then another in the group stated that she's in fact working on just that.

 

'''''Futurology:''''' Stories which function almost like a prediction of the future, extrapolating from current technology rather than inventing major new technologies or discoveries. Expect [[Zeerust]] in older entries.
