I recently read some great books with fictional new models of society. They made me embarrassed about our current societal state of affairs.
We still have:
- surveillance
- censorship
- diseases
- banks
- money
- wars
- oil
- cars
- combustion engines
- global warming
- nuclear waste
- ignorance
- sexism
- homophobia
- racism
- totalitarianism
- religion
- hunger for power
We still don’t have:
- world government
- sustainability
- peace
- equal chances
- meritocracy
- free planet-wide public transportation
- world-wide wifi
- decentralized communication and power generation
- long-distance space travel
- sonic screwdrivers
- jetpacks
Dear future historians: I’m sorry.
