I remember watching Johnny Nmemonic and reading William Gibson. They depicted dystopian futures where computer parts were rare and valuable and people hoarded disk drives like they were going out of style. I also remember how years later we laughed and laughed because it turned out memory had become cheap and ubiquitous. It seemed ridiculous that we'd run into shortages as they were depicted in those works of fiction.
Remember those times? How we laughed? Haha.
Ha fucking ha.

Turns out, there’s a phenomenal amount you can do with the thinking capabilities of garbage though. -

I used to think the Butlerian Jihad was the silliest bit. Maybe it's the sanest. -

@zalasur Every dystopian movie I've seen/tale I've read now feels more prophetic than anything else.....
