Discover the largest Megastructures of the future, from Ringworlds to Alderson Disks. A detailed exploration of Neil Blevins’s incredible ‘Megastructure’ project. Depictions of the future often imagine vast technological structures that shatter the mind with their sheer scale. In science fiction, these hypothetical objects are called ‘megastructures’ — and although it would take countless technological leaps to construct one, cosmic-scale Megastructures may one day become scientific fact. But what kinds of structures are future humans likely to create? What would it be like to live on one? And what’s the science behind these speculative wonders? One of my favorite sci fi illustrators, Neil Blevins, has been hard at work answering these very questions: creating a visual encyclopedia of Megastructures that both explains the science behind the objects, and includes paintings and diagrams to bring them to life: from Ringworlds to Alderson Disks.
