[Hackaday] AI and the Ghost in the Machine [Read article now »]( Return of the Hackaday Sci-Fi Contest By [Mike Szczys]( My favorite Hackaday contest (obviously besides the Hackaday Prize) has always been the Sci-Fi contest. We ran it back when Hackaday.io was brand new and it was phenomenal. [The 2014 entries]( drew inspiration from all over the Sci-Fi spectrum. Tony DiCola (who is now driving Adafruit's MicroPython efforts) took first place with the Verbal Morality Monitor from Demolition Man. And we saw project themes from Back to the Future, Hitchhiker's Guide, Doctor Who, and of course Trek and Wars. It is such a pleasure to see fictitious future tech come to life. The good news is we've brought the joy of that contest back. [Hackaday's 2017 Sci-Fi Contest]( is under way. It's your turn to show us what you got by bringing a piece of science fiction to life. It just needs to include some type of electronics and be inspired by your beloved book, movie, cartoon, or television science fiction mythos.
