I just came across a very interesting article by Julian Bleecker—"Design Fiction: A short essay on design, science, fact and fiction"—which introduces the whole new approach towards design based on science fiction utilised as a speculative design tool.
The article helped me structure my thoughts, reinforced my confidence in this field (it turns out that this is an approach taken really seriously by some open-minded people) and inspired in terms of many potential ways to push my stories forward. It also gives an account on how this emerging field of design came to life, briefly outlaying the history of fact and fiction mingling together. And this space is really a gold mine of inspiration for design.
