Has futuristic technology
Futuristic technology is technology that doesn’t currently exist in our world / that surpasses our current technological capabilities.

It may feature realistic technology that is only months or years away, or include imaginative or otherworldly technology that may or may not be possible. The book may be set on Earth or take place on another planet, in outer space, an alternate reality, etc. It may also be based on technology that we have available today (for example: AI) but the author has taken that technology to another level or imagined it interacting with our daily lives in a way outside of how we currently use it.

You may also decide to pick a story that contains technology that did not exist when the book was initially written but has since been invented. (For example, a novel written in the 1950s that features self-driving cars, etc.) Or an alternate reality-style story that “rewrites history” to include advanced technology for a specific time period. (For example: Steampunk.)

While the book must feature futuristic technology, it does not necessarily have to be set in the future. And while the technology must be featured somewhere within the story, it does not have to be a part of the main plot.

Examples: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Red Rising, Foundation Series, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Scythe
