Paris in the 21st Century?

Jules Vernes wrote a novel “Paris in the 20th Century” (English translation). Here’s French artist Miki de Goodaboom’s version of “Paris in the 21st Century” as per descriptions in my novel, “Pax Romana: The Rise of Seren.”

 

May not be science fiction for long!

Mark plays “Sleeping Beauty: The Infinity Version”

The Helm of Darkness*

*Or the cap of invisibility.

In Greek mythology, Athena gave Perseus the “helm of invisibility,” which would enable him to slay the Gorgon Medussa.

Invisibility, it’s a powerful weapon, along with “a magical sword and shoes of swiftness” (A. R. H. Moncrieff, Romance and Legend of Chivalry, p. 4.

Tolkien used the “ring,” which he may have borrowed from “The Legend of Gyges,” recounted by Plato.

Gene Roddenbery recognized the power of invisibility and made the Klingon warbird a formidable opponent for the starship Enterprise.

In Pax Romana: The Rise of Seren, invisibility by technological (not magical) cloak plays a significant role from the very first chapter.

Maybe I am a prophet? It seems that science is developing as described in the novel. How long will it take us to get there?

 

Lightning Boots? Science fiction?

Part of the equipment of the Praetorian Guard in futuristic Rome are Lightning Boots.

In the novel, Mark is trying to outrun a lion, which is in hot pursuit: “Mark jumps to his feet, and as he does, he notices that yet another lion has emerged from the trees and is bearing down on him. He takes off running, calculating that his Lightning Boots should enable him to outrun a lion. He hopes his calculations are correct because he can’t quite remember how fast lions run.”

Maybe 35mph? I drew inspiration from legends of chivalry in which the hero acquired “boots of swiftness.”

But is this “sci-fi” touch too futuristic? Pictured are bionic boots that allow the wearer to run 25mph.
