FAQ
How far ahead is 'near' in near-future settings?
There’s no strict span, but near-future usually means within the next 5–30 years: close enough for readers to recognize people and places, but far enough for believable changes in technology, law, or culture.
How much technology should I include before it feels like sci-fi?
Focus on small, plausible shifts that affect daily life (wearables, energy, transport, communication) rather than speculative breakthroughs. The more the tech serves character choices and relationships, the less it risks feeling like hard sci‑fi.
Can near-future stories include big social changes?
Yes — social shifts (new family norms, labor changes, or privacy expectations) can be central. The key is to ground those changes in current trends so they feel like natural evolutions, not sudden rewrites of society.
What research helps when writing a near-future romance?
Look at current tech roadmaps, policy debates, climate projections, and cultural trends. Read journalism and think‑pieces on likely short-term changes, then ask how those shifts would change dating, work, and intimacy for your characters.
