      God they nailed it. Dystopian architecture crumbling for everyone else while billionaire CEOs live in giant mansions and party on yachts. While the working class is bombarded by sex and gambling ads.

      Truly this is fucking hell.

      I don’t think they called it. I think these techbros don’t have any ideas of their own so they’re just taking the worst ideas authors could come up with and calling it their own. None of their companieshave actually made anything new. They just throw a shiny coat of paint on what science fiction has warned us about.
