I’ve always been fascinated by how science fiction explores future work structures, and it got me wondering about freelancing. In sci-fi, you often see characters operating as independent contractors or specialists think of the hired guns in cyberpunk stories or the lone explorers charting new worlds. Does anyone else see parallels between the gig economy and those futuristic roles? I’m curious how freelancing today might reflect the flexible, sometimes precarious, employment landscapes that sci-fi authors imagine. What are your thoughts on this?
