ABSTRACT={This article analyses teleportation in science fiction through the concept of the techno-gestational myth. Although technically impossible at present and requiring a major paradigm shift, this fictional technology plays a crucial role in shaping innovation very early in the research and development process. Through the study of diverse works (such as the saga The Fly, Star Trek, Everywhen and Hyperion), the article demonstrates the profound ambivalence of this imagined phenomenon. On the one hand, teleportation embodies a disruptive and utopian innovation, promising to revolutionize mobility, abolish distances and facilitate humanity’s cosmic expansion. On the other hand, it crystallizes anxieties linked to scientific hubris, illustrating the excesses of a Faustian science through monstrous mutations, tragic disappearances, and dystopian social alienation. In conclusion, science fiction proves to be a powerful tool for foresight. By naming the unthinkable, it generates technological archetypes, or technotypes. These representations structure the collective imagination and effect a kind of in imago fertilization capable, in the long term, of guiding and inspiring scientific research programs.}}
