There's an interesting piece of history worth noting. Back in 1997, another tech company's founders were already pulling from the same sci-fi classic—Robert A. Heinlein's 'Stranger in a Strange Land'—that would later become culturally significant in tech circles. What's wild is they also had early grok voice technology embedded in their systems back then. Fast forward decades, and you see the same conceptual DNA evolving differently across companies. The parallel borrowing from the same literary source shows how sci-fi shapes technology ideology in predictable ways. It's like watching different teams draw inspiration from the same playbook, then execute radically different versions of the same dream.
