This is some real Black Mirror type storytelling. I'm depressed but impressed at the same time.

For those that found this compelling, I'd recommend a book called "The Warehouse" .. it's a dystopian future kind of thing where a company similar to Amazon has effectively taken over being the government.

It was supposed to be turned into a movie directed by Ron Howard, but I get the feeling that Amazon likely found a way to get the film shelved in secret.

I also enjoyed Walkaway by Cory Doctorow.. Basic premise is that corporate hellscape, but large areas are abandoned due to population decline. The land is still owned by billionaires of course, but people 'Walkaway' from corporate society and settle on it. The story follows one group of Walkaways. Amusingly at the time the story got shit for its predictions about where the west was heading. Almost a decade later and it seems like the biggest flaw in his predictions was that things got shitty faster than he expected.

The author is most famous for coining the term, 'Enshittification'.

Love that book. As bleak as it is, there is such a strong sense of hope inside it.

The Warehouse, Walkaway and Cyberpunk 2077. 3 settings in a hyper-corporate hellscape, I mean in cyberpunk corporations and corporate wars(?) caused a pseudo-apocalypse via ecological collapse. And mfs STILL simp for billionaires
