To Whom The Fiction Of Present Reason May Not Concern
Considering SciFi kind of a Sorcerer's Stone misses the point by far.
Science Fiction Authors had foreseen our Dystopian Future taking effect around the second turn of the Millennium already 50 years ago!
During the early to mid 70s John Brunner (The Sheep Look Up, Shockwave Rider) and Alvin Toffler (Future Shock) had anticipated the kind of coercive circumstances we Millennials've been increasingly dealing with since the early 90s:
Big Business, Societal Consumption and Waste Creation, Environmental Pollution and Devastation, Exploitation of Natural Resources and Extinction of Species, Climate Change and Overpopulation.
Human Ignorance seems to have outperformed factual as much as fictional Enlightenment and Reason.
As long as our Thoughts prove too antiquated and self-centered to understand the multitudinous global Causes and Effects of our faulty doing and neglect, the Future of Mankind and living on Earth will be turning out much less than a f#cked up Dream … sorry … Fiction.
Got it?
