We are talking non fiction here?
Yes, though I don't mind finction books too :)
I don't really read much non-fiction, but if you want something entertaining and kinda sciencey look at the books "What if" and "How to" by the XKCD comic's author: https://what-if.xkcd.com/
Wow that's interesting!
It ignores a couple of important facts about Futurama to make the point is trying to make through a lens of today, though.
Ignoring the obvious "it's a cartoon" is that the ship in Futurama moves the universe around itself rather than moving through the universe. And the other being the article limits itself to today's technology, in general.
This is what I was thinking too based on OP's requirements.
I love his books! You might check out Joel Achenbach too - https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Joel-Achenbach/1162553
Masters of Doom by David Kushner
Have you read 1984 yet? It’s a work of fiction, but very insightful.
