Judge Dredd already outdid Neuromancer by including a hose thing that let you poo poo while in the bed.

I'm a fan of self-contained hybrid residential/commercial megastructure type developments like Cosmo Park in Jakarta: Definitely dystopian but I just think it's really neat to look at!!!

aren't they moving the Indonesian capital away from Jakarta because it's literally sinking into the ocean?

If we're ever going to live on other planets/moons, this is what the sleeping quarters are going to look like for the 99%, so get used to it. Artemis (by Andy Weir, who also wrote The Martian) has great descriptions of the living conditions on a big moonbase complex.

Asimov in The Gods Themselves has people living on the moon (who have A+ titties and look twenty years younger due to the low gravity) and the ones born and raised there can't fathom the idea of living under a sky. Some also have their teeth removed because they not needed to consume the algae paste that makes up their diet. Anyway it's cool how alien the humans on the earth/moon become to each other despite being the same species.

Silicon Valley has the largest percentage of millennials that actually deserve to feel lovely and scared all the time, yet are the only ones in their age demo that can afford to do something about it.

problem: people are miserable due to loneliness and alienation, partly driven by faceless algorithms reshaping our day-to-day lives solution: numbers-driven therapy apps!

Absolutely brilliant science fiction: fascinating, thought provoking and well ahead of its time. Part 3. Asimov phones in a conclusion using his stock character types. The bit you describe is in Part 3.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:Me reading the beginning of neuromancer: hmm, yes, wow, sounds good, can’t wait never read it cause I’m lame like that. anyway I know it’s certainly not for everyone or even a majority but in my case I’d be fine with it since I personally don’t need much space. ofc in real life places like that are most likely also run down shitholes with landlords not maintaining them so well

theres a similar issue with dystopian scifi as anti-war war films, in that neither exist in the sense the main consumers will always consume them in service of a fantasy

I feel like both capitalist and gay-space-communist factions fail to understand how necessary it is for us to have a relationship with the natural world and see trees, plants, animals, water, etc.

StashAugustine posted:This is literally every Asimov story, let's be real here. I'm only halfway through the first season but read the first 5 books and think the books handled the dystopia way better, not least because a lot of the characters just don't realize they're in one. Either way though, it's good!

ad astra is being called by the director as the most realistic space movie, the moon base has an applebees and a hudson news in it, thats probably going to end up the most realistic part if we ever have a moon base

The first couple of episodes of The Expanse almost turned me off of it, but it really takes off by the fourth episode, it’s fantastic.

Imagine the incredible feeling of going into space, looking down and seeing the entirety of Earth before you, it's skies and blue oceans and landscapes on display and it's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. And then the concourse doors open and there's a loving Applebee's there.
