Jay Sandover:
I've been studying the older science fiction and it makes me sad when the authors pin a year on their fictional space accomplishments. From the 60's perspective we'd be living in space and on other worlds by the 90's. It makes me cautious about having 'dated' elements in a story and I write 'social media' instead of Facebook and Twitter. But it can be awkward. Slang is the same. How do you approach this?
