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.
I love his books! You might check out Joel Achenbach too - https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Joel-Achenbach/1162553
This is what I was thinking too based on OP's requirements.
Have you read 1984 yet? It’s a work of fiction, but very insightful.
