We've reached some kind of dystopia singularity, where you can't write dystopian fiction anymore because things are worse than the society you had imagined by the time you finish fleshing out the idea.

@Hex@kolektiva.social dystopia is a tool to warn people. But you warn because it hasn't happened yet. Now, as the scenarios envisioned have happened and we failed to avoid them, it's time to write utopias, to give people hope and a goal. It's super difficult to write a believable utopia when all the moods are down and all the perspectives are grim, we need very talented people to show us what to dream about and how to fight for that dream. #solarpunk #utopia
