*Well, that was ten years ago. That oppressive cyberpunk dystopia has got some staying power

Daniel Marks

@bruces I beg to differ. Many more people have seen the future optimism of Star Trek over any of the classic cyberpunk dystopia stories or series. I don't think science fiction has overall promoted a dismal future; it is the media that has propagated pessimism it to sell ads. In a lot of ways science has made life better but we believe it is worse and succumb to learned helplessness.

@profdc9 @bruces umm…wasn’t the Star Trek optimism only after a global nuclear exchange and followed by something akin to feudal warlord rulers killing a fair chunk of the remaining population? I’m ballparking STtnG episode 1 and the borg movie.
So…umm…pass?
