Thank you for the post. I hope it generates a lot of discussion. The future grows from the present. Science fiction writers (of which I am one) are the visionaries of the future. They aren't always right, but the ideas they come up with form the framework of the future. Jules Verne wrote of traveling to the moon in the 19 th century. The airplane hadn't yet been invented, but in the 20th century we did. He also invisioned a boat named the Nautilus that traveled under water powered by a mysterious power X. The first atomic submarine was named the Nautilus. Arthur C. Clark is credited with the idea of communication satellites. Gene Roddenberry named Star Trek's spaceship the Enterprise. The first space shuttle was named the Enterprise in his honor. Captain Kirk had a flip phone. These are some of the good things (maybe). Sadly, George Orwell envisioned 1984 and in 2017 were living it. So be careful what you put out there because for every Gandhi there is a Lex Luther who would use your ideas for evil. Your vision of the future is dystopian to me. I'm no fan of the Borg or the Matrix, Eloy or More locks. No birth meds for my kids and no nanobots in my blood thank you very much. And call girls are as old as civilization itself. Jurassic Park is right on the horizon. Remember, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.
