Write a Scientific Paper (WASP): Interdisciplinarity as it may become - As visualized in science fiction

摘要

Interdisciplinarity, the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity, is generally encouraged, but there are many pitfalls in the path of the would-be interdisciplinarian.

This paper will review the genre's depiction of some protagonists who have reified the interdisciplinary paradigm within science fiction, and some lessons that may be learned from these narratives.
