So far this thread is chicken/egg-like. One could only prove either side by
checking publication dates of all articles and "publication" dates of all
books and movies. Without that evidence then this is a moot discussion.

So, you're saying nobody dreamed about flying before the Wright brothers
built their first Flyer, eh?

Nobody wrote about computers before the Mark 1 or Colossus (British
WWII system; last one decomissioned and destroyed in the '60s) were
built?

How about robots, first conceived of by a playwright?

There are so many counter examples to your position it's ludicrous for
you to try and stick to it. Grow up.
