Isn't it interesting that of all the dystopian futures conjured up in books that the ones based on a liberal’s wet dream seem to be coming true? (Fallen Angels, 1984, Brave New World, and Atlas Shrugged)

Interesting is a word for it, I suppose. I recall reading Harlan Ellison’s dystopian anthologies ‘Dangerous Visions’ and ‘Again, Dangerous Visions’ thirty years ago and saying “nah, there’s no way any of this stuff can ever happen”. I am sorry to be wrong on more counts than I can think of. Just to name one, Niven’s ‘The Jigsaw Man’ is going down as we speak in China.
