THE FIRST STEEM SCI-FI: A Futuristic #Steemit Powered World!

Hello fellow Steemers, for those of us heavily invested in the platform, today was a bit tough...

Though, one benefit was that I'm sure it allowed all of us to reflect on the sort of content we would like to deliver on the platform.

This was indeed the case for me.

And after some reflection, I decided to create a series on a futuristic world with an economy of content creators!

The series will be written from the first person perspective of a metropolitan content creator. So the tone will be dark/comically deprecatory

Here's a sample:

...like everyone else, sometimes I needed to get away from Steem.

Sometimes I even thought about hiring a car to take me away from it all. I’d find some smaller city where things weren’t all white and automatic, and I’d get back to basics.

Then I’d remember that would actually require me to have some kind of skill other than content creation, and I’d head back to the keyboard to bang out something new. People out in those rural areas probably wished they lived in one of the large cities where mundane stuff was handled by AI and we didn’t have to worry about crime as much. All we had to do was accept that the city itself would be keeping an eye on us all the time. Small price to pay, right?
