with hexagons you can produce an infinite 2D surface without empty zones, like with squares

They are orderly, like our commonly used orthogonal shapes, yet less familiar, making hexagonal things appear to be from an era that is advanced and also not current.

Because squares are common in our world so the alternatives for a shape that tiles the plane are triangles and hexagons. Out of these two options hexagons look cooler so that's why sci fi uses them to set itself apart from the real world.

From bees'honeycombsto theGiant's Causeway, hexagonal patterns are prevalent in nature due to their efficiency. In ahexagonal grideach line is as short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest hexagons. This means that honeycombs require lesswaxto construct and gain much strength undercompression.

Really good question. All puns aside, I think that hexagons are the perfect "futuristic" shape, without the complex angles of an octagon and not as simple as a square.
