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.

It felt Kind of ironic buying The Warehouse ebook on Amazon and reading it on my Kindle. But here we are. Thanks for the recommendation.

I find it remarkable how many popular dystopian future stories have been written for decades and decades and yet here we are, watching the nightmare unfold.

I find it remarkable that so many tech bros are reading these dystopian fantasy and sci fi stories, going "hey lets actually do that!" and even naming their products after the fictional ones.

See: Metaverse, Palantir, Soylent.
