My 5 Best SciFi Story Ideas from science articles I’ve found around the internet. Let’s start with number one.
A quick summary of the previous story: The WannaCry worm came close to crashing the internet. It was only stopped by the quick thinking and hard work of two cybersecurity specialists.
How would you write a SciFi story off this? What would happen if the whole world used virtual reality and hackers attacked that? Reply with your best ideas and I’ll give each of you a short story.
This video is kind of science-fictiony, but more of a cautionary tale is what can go wrong with high-risk rocketry.

What if? That’s the essence of writing science fiction. What if the moon program hadn’t been cancelled by a budget conscious Congress? What if we discovered something that changed human history? Again, comments to this blog post or email replies will get a free short story from me
Along with writing stories comes editing. Editing separates the lemons from the melons.

Sam Melvin, an underachieving e-reporter from a small town, changes forever when he meets turkeys that won’t stay dead. You can shoot ’em, chop ’em, burn ’em—they come back stronger. The undead plague of poultry spreads uncontrollably, rocking the whole country. As Sam tracks down the zombie turkeys and how to eradicate them, his editor, Lisa Kambacher, nags him to turn his stories and expenses in on time. During their years of working together, Lisa has mellowed into an irascible pinchpenny.
Lisa snipes at Sam for plebeian writing but uses her intelligence to pursue the lucrative carnivorous turkey story. Sam and Lisa ricochet across the landscape, tracking turkeys and fleeing the bloodthirsty hordes. Careening from shell-shocked grocery store owners fighting turkeys crawling out of refrigerators, to machine-gunning turkey farmers, to secret militia, Sam and Lisa doggedly report. Throughout the turkey apocalypse, they dare ravaged cities, plow knee deep in gore and corpses, and upload streams of zombie turkey video news to the world.
Paranoid militias clashing with the federal government forces and unkillable turkeys make Sam and Lisa doubt their ability to survive. Sam and Lisa have no superpowers. If you have a heart condition or lack humor, you should not read Zombie Turkeys, no matter how much you want to find out what happens.
What was most surprising to me about Andy Zach’s Zombie Turkeys? – that is qualified as an actual adventure story! I wasn’t expecting that. About a quarter way in, when a young reporter gets the assignment to follow a swarm of 10,000 rampaging turkeys into a stretch of unfamiliar woodlands, it actually grabbed my attention while I was driving, and I was scared for the reporter (even without the zombie element, 10.000 turkeys is a LOT, and being a reporter is no protection against 10,000 wild animals).
4 New Science and Technology Stories Ideal for Science Fiction. First of all, let’s start with this one:
What are the five coolest things and what kind of stories can I write?
Firstly, there’s a strong 3D membrane that can be used as a matrix for tissue growth and healing. I’d write a story about using it to restoring some injured person to better than they were.
Then, we have an on/off adhesive that works like a snail. When it’s dry it’s adhesive. When wet, it works as a lubricant. I’d write a story about a human fly who uses it to climb buildings.
Then we have a robotic fish. Out of millions of possible stories, my first inclination is to write about a hopeless military situation where an army is surrounded by a superior force and then use these fish to spy upon and attack the enemy.
Finally you’ll read about a solar desalinator. In this case, I’d make a story about a destitute desert county that turns into a paradise using this.

4 New Science Stories – Your Second Story
Yup, this lady wears an external corset that pokes anyone who comes too close to her. What would I do with this story idea?
I’d take it to the next level of extreme. I’d make it a military weapon by increasing the speed and force and add bowie knives to the end.
Then this weekend I’ll sign my books at Geekfest in Peoria.
4 New Science Stories – Your Third Story
Through the annals of science fiction many stories describe adventures with asteroids. In real life, we have a satellite around one for the first time, mapping it to plan a landing. How can I make that into my next story?
I would describe the landing from the satellite’s point of view. Then I would describe some giant creature swallowing it from inside the asteroid. Finally, I’d finish the story by portraying the creature’s point of view. Maybe it’d think, “Yummy!”
Oh, wait–George Lucas already did that. Watch this next video.
