Prophets of Science Fiction is an American documentary television series produced and hosted by Ridley Scott for the Science Channel. The program premiered on November 9, 2011.
The series covers the life and work of leading science fiction authors of the last couple of centuries. It depicts how they predicted and, accordingly, influenced the development of scientific advancements by inspiring many readers to assist in transforming those futuristic visions into everyday reality. The stories are told through film clips, reenactments, illustrations and interviews.
The first episode received mixed reviews. Commentators appreciated the approach of combining coverage of contemporary scientific research and biographical exposition, but criticized the series as "light on the substance and heavy on the exaggeration". The series' attempts to link Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to developments such as organ transplants, supercomputers and DNA research were described by one critic as far-fetched but by another as successful.
The series' first season consists of 8 one-hour episodes which aired on the Science Channel in November 2011 and February 2012.

这款根据哈伦.埃里森同名小说改编的游戏业界评分几乎都是中下。尽管如此，相信任何喜欢AVG游戏的朋友都没有理由错过这款游戏。
无声狂啸是游戏史上第一个批判现实主义的冒险游戏，游戏中涉及到有关战争、性、人与人之间的虚伪和冷漠等众多社会问题，引人深思。无声狂啸曾获得1995 年度最佳幻想角色扮演及冒险游戏桂冠，以及美国CGW杂志评选的年度最佳冒险游戏。
游戏的进行过程有些沉寂，几乎都是主角一人向内心封闭的世界做探索和斗争。操作界面不复杂，所有动作只限于行走（Walk to）、观察（Look at）、拿取（Take）、使用（Use）、交谈（Talk to）、咀嚼（Swallow）、交给（Give）、推动（Push）8个动作，这8个指令整齐地安排在屏幕的左下方，新手也能很快地入门。这些指令与物品栏占了屏幕的三分之一，颇有些过分。游戏中的许多物品很小，虽然与主角的比例是正确的，但很容易与背景相混淆。游戏左下角人物头像框背景颜色会因主角的情绪反应而变化，体现了游戏中这5个主角内心世界的惨痛经历和隐私。开始时的背景呈黑色，当主角逐步战胜心魔后，就会变浅变亮；当主角遭受打击挫折时，又会变深。因此在游戏中要避免接触该角色内心的苦楚，否则主角可能会发疯。
