Gernsback predicts future tech and space burials
In his annual Christmas card forecast Hugo Gernsback envisions airmobiles as the main transport, radar reducing air collisions, and space burials using flying coffins. He also imagines an electronic brain helper and a sex tech device, then notes the era’s wonder makes life in 1955 seem a privilege. The column blends odd futurism with practical questions about human companionship and science.
