high-tech dystopian capitalism<br/><br/>it seems like a lot of popular media might be trying to balance between making a world seem appealing (generally in a glitzy surface-level aesthetic way), and making it upsetting/disturbing<br/><br/>I wonder if people have a hard time fantasizing about something as positive as a #utopia. if they need dystopian elements to make the world feel believable before they can escape into it. or maybe they have a hard time imagining what a utopia would look like at all<br/><br/>because the thing is, you can have the cyberpunk aesthetic and all the cool transhuman tech and still be incredibly #utopian. those aren&#39;t mutually exclusive things. for example the outer system in Eclipse Phase is (mostly) like that 2024-12-08T14:59:13Z
