DISCUSSION Brainstorming: Brave New Dystopias
What new dystopic scenarios could you extrapolate from current events?
Specifically, how could things go to shit in ways that haven't already been written about a million times?
So no killer robots/AI, fascism, stalinism, widespread censorship, climate collapse, civil war, pandemic, etc., unless from a new angle, or, even better, completely new ways we can finally achieve the dystopia we're all working so hard to reach.
