Locus Online reports the results of an interesting contest by Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, started 30 years ago.
The winner of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction's "Win $2010 in the year 2010" contest is Allen MacNeill, for his prediction that handheld computers would exist by 2010. In 1980, Fantasy & Science Fiction held a 30th anniversary contest, asking readers to choose the science fiction concept most likely to be realized by the year 2010. The approximately 2,700 entries were kept securely and, as promised, were recently opened to determine the winner (a few months ahead of schedule).
