Welcome to the future, here's your flying golf cart. Try not to die
The future is going to be terrible. It just is, and there's nothing you or I can do about it. There have been, in every era, two competing visions for the era's future, and invariably one of them is a spotlessly clean utopia and the other is a dystopian hellscape. We're getting the hellscape, there's just no question about it. We're getting full-on “Blade Runner” or “Escape From New York.” Whether it's because of climate change, a pandemic, or people voting for the reality television rape guy to run the country, nobody really tries to pitch the non-apocalyptic version anymore.
No, we can all finally come to agreement: We're screwed.
