Simon Pegg is returning to the 'Mission Impossible' series as the technician-turned-field agent, Benji. It's the latest immersion in a string of roles that have led Pegg down the digital wormhole of speculating about the future. 。
From 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' (where Pegg plays the despicable junk monster Unkar Plutt) to 'Ready Player One', he acknowledges that oftentimes what starts off as impossible sci-fi ends up as actual science. Kind of like when 'Star Trek' first presented the idea of communicators, now commonly known as mobile phones. 。
"We're sort of prone to hoping for more than everyday experience – that's where religion comes from. It's the need for knowledge because the unknown is scary." 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
And from the perspective of an atheist, says Pegg, religion's "fabricated idea of magic and stories" is far less plausible than the intentionally fabricated ideas presented in sci-fi, many of which are prescriptive enough to become fact one day. 。
