You've got science fiction. Why not let the science fact people have their innings, also?
A number of science fiction has predicted things that have come to be. Take Star Trek. We have automatic opening doors, Bluetooth headsets, cell phones all because of Star Trek.

I see no problem reading SF books where the some science has become reality.
