Résumé : This paper explores the power of science fiction stories in their role as projections and warnings, and how they can be used in an educational sense, specifically in engineering schools. We explore how to use these narratives in order to aid students reach the third level of technical culture; this involves the “art of diversion”, which allows us to encourage students to reflect on their own role when it comes to ethics and politics . This reflection also helps students think about the way technology changes the world. In this paper we first define what the third level of technological culture is and then, using three examples of contemporary sci-fi TV shows, demonstrate what could be developed and to what pedagogical end.
