     This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi

     @annaleen

     now THIS would be a fascinating premise for a dystopian story. 1984 meets ...Minority Report?

     @annaleen the creator of cyberpunk I forget his name (first and only TTRPG POC author iirc in the TTRPG hall of fame) said in an interview it’s bitter sweet to read the news and realize the dystopian fiction he wrote in the 1980s & 90s is today’s reality

     @annaleen Dystopian science fiction is known to the State of California to give people bad ideas.
