So, here is one of many whose thoughts, experiments or just musings have helped to shape the "foundations" for sci fi and fantasy writers.

people of many time periods --put in some more!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
one Rene Descartes

out of his writings we see notions repeated by many sci fi writers- Philip K Dick and his works (DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP == BLADERUNNER) and the Wachowski's (or...err whoever wrote it :) ) THE MATRIX and so many more works

his "i think therefore i am" and what it means for Replicant behavior and the nature of existence are directly linked to both of these works

either way he was one interesting dude...
