I'm pretty cynical. I'm a huge sci-fi fan, and enjoy everything from Star Trek, to The Expanse, to William Gibson's novels. P K Dick, too.
You want to know which futuristic reality they projected is the one in the lead? I can tell you it's not the gleaming white space stations with hundreds of thousands of humans peacefully engaged in furthering knowledge and exploration.
Nope.
It's the despotic corporatocracy with the token ineffective government winning. The corporations rule all. Ever read Jennifer Government? Yeah, we're headed for Gibson's Sprawl and disparity in a hurry...well, if Climate Change doesn't get us all first.
I feel like I would like to read those but 1984 already made me wanna puke so I might have to pass.
Still, I very much get what you mean.
