The Rise of Black Technology: Starting with Nuclear Fusion

For a long time, science fiction has seemed to belong exclusively to print: The Three-Body Problem,

The Wallfacer, The Wandering Earth, Ball Lightning. These wildly imaginative and wondrous ideas

have felt so far removed from web novels. But why shouldn’t web novels have science fiction? Why

should web-novel authors be limited to hackneyed apocalypses instead of letting their imaginations

run wild? They shouldn’t! Stories about cutting-edge technology bring science fiction within reach.

Controlled nuclear fusion, optical camouflage, aircraft carriers, space stations, space elevators,

mechs, drones: all kinds of technology can shine in web novels too. And the most sci-fi way to level

up and grow stronger is, of course, to climb the tech tree. Whether it’s leading a nation in a race to

develop technology before the apocalypse and save the world, helping a country break a tech

blockade in an alternate setting, or guiding humanity into space and out into the universe, the

System makes cutting-edge-tech stories easier to write and full of satisfying moments,
