@cstross I have been thinking this for quite a few years now once I started noticing that what I see happening in our world often closely resembles dystopian fiction I have read.
Why haven't we started to see fiction that tells a story about how humanity fixed all the messes we see? What if a plot was based 50 years on the other side of us overcoming the most difficult issues we are currently facing and people are now trying to understand what it means to live in this new reality?
