Because I enjoy reading Science Fiction, I'm thinking of writing a Sci-Fi novel myself. I'm interested in 'hard' (related to the engineering sciences) science fiction with a military bent (think _The Lost Fleet_ by Jack Campbell or _Old Man's War_ by John Scalzi), so this will be my genre of choice. However, it strikes me that, despite being Software Developer by trade, I don't know enough about the hard sciences to make my novel realistic. Plus, future technology may well be more advanced than that of today. So, before I get started, my question is: **how do I go about researching future technology for a science fiction Novel?**
