Abstract: Science fiction explores the areas that lie between science and myth, philosophy and faith, knowledge and dreams. If it draws on scientific rationality, it always does so under the veil of the imaginary. The purpose of our contribution is to deepen this journey from science to fiction through the anticipatory fictional movement in France in the second half of the last century, with the example of Richard Bessière, the first and the most emblematic author of the series "Anticipation". On two themes (economics and climate change) we analyze the direct or indirect links between two spaces of thought, that created by the author for his science-fiction universe and that of the current scientific and technical community, by placing them in perspective of temporal gap that separates these two universes.
