I was a fan of science fiction as a young lad, and rather enjoyed the stories of robots, climate-controlled cities with a protective bubble shells, rayguns and jetpacks. There's a book all about everything that science fiction promised and the scientists have yet to deliver.
I can't say if the Scottish lads in We Were Promised Jetpacks actually read this book before choosing their name. I can say that I'm rather fond of this song, even if it involves only one person and a guitar. Or, rather, quite possibly because it only involves one person and a guitar.
