    "Science fiction used to be a wild, fantastical guess about a distant future. Today? It’s basically just a product roadmap for technology companies.

    We were aiming for the post-scarcity, exploratory utopia of Starfleet. Instead, we accidentally downloaded the corporate surveillance, cyber-attack, and rogue AI expansion pack" https://www.hardrefresh.life/sci-fi-just-product-roadmap-technology-companies/

    Time to split utopian #sci-fi subgenres off into their own genre. #hopepunk #solarpunk #lunarpunk #ecopunk #post-scarcity

      @craigoverend IDK how accidental it was.

      I used to love scifi (pre-2000s) but its clear that most scifi authors from any era loathe renewable energy. The only exception to this is when the renewable tech becomes this ultra-macho project... surround the home star with a Dyson sphere to completely dominate it.
