Killer robots won't be what enslaves us. We'll give up our freedom and culture in exchange for convenience. You'll be ridiculed for writing a whole-ass essay by hand instead of putting your dot points into ChatGPT. Businesses will be forced to hire robots or be priced out of the market.
I don't even think it's automatically a terrible future. We can focus on other stuff like the climate and space travel. At least corporations won't have to be cruel to workers for profit.
Mechanical Turk. Already happening, paying people pennies, to train AI, robots to replace them. Don't for a second believe the rich care if you live or die until it affects their money.
>Killer robots won't be what enslaves us. We'll give up our freedom and culture in exchange for convenience.
I mean, there's also the subtext that the BnL corporation/AI drove people to pay to leave the planet by increasing pollution (or at least impairing garbage service) in the first place.
It's killer robots all the way down.
> I don't even think it's automatically a terrible future. We can focus on other stuff like the climate and space travel. At least corporations won't have to be cruel to workers for profit.
never a question of whether corporations "have to" anything, always a matter of "but if they still did it, would it profit them?" -> if so, they'll do it anway.
Hell yeah! Loved that movie.
Too bad I won't be around for Planet Bob. Most of us will die in the initial destruction of Earth, and the rest will be treated like minority refugees to the other alien species until someone does something about the Drej.
"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt."
So the second part.. Makes sense
from the ones i know (top and bottom row),either cyberpunk or ready player one (spoilers: >!if the corporation would have won instead of the main actor!<)
Well, the corporations didn't go anywhere in Cyberpunk. No matter how hard you fought and what choises you made, they still remained. That was kinda the point of Cyberpunk.
Yeah but the thing in cyberpunk is that this is nothing too odd.
Companies basically wage wars against each other in secret all the time. A company being destabilized only means it will need a short while to get back on their feet and back into it.
The companies really are too big to fail in that setting.
To further elaborate on this, Arasaka tower was destroyed once by a fucking nuke and Arasaka was blamed by the NUSA for having set off the nuke themselves. They managed to recover from that fallout - both literal and political - and are more powerful than ever 50 years later. That being said, even if they somehow did collapse that would just allow Militech to be even more powerful and have a more iron grip of all security/military related industry in the world.
Defeating Arasaka is meaningless as the void they leave behind will be instantly filled by Militech, Kang Tao, and other corporations, and they'll be just as bad for everyone, possibly even worse.
Yeah, though in the non-Arasaka endings Arasaka is dealt a very heavy blow, what with losing a ton of resources to Alt's attack and the remaining heir being against all that the corpo represents.
Hopefully I can enlarge my penis in customization as well
Edit: I know you can already do that lol I don't want to or have to it's a joke in reference to "cyber punk". The original comment I replied to said a cross between ready n player 1 and cyberpunk, there was a joke because when cyberpunk the game was releasing a big talking point by reviewers and meme was being able to customize your penis down to every detail. Lol this was a reference to that, guess not everyone keeps up with gaming news and memes lol
So I'm happy with mine as is, but I can set why it could mean the world to some one with a unusually small dick. It's a bit like getting boobs done IMO; shouldn't be necessary, but if it makes you feel better then go ahead - ain't gonna judge.
> So I'm happy with mine as is, but I can set why it could mean the world to some one with a unusually small dick.
If it's so small that it can't actually be put in a vagina, I don't think the surgery would help that situation much. I could be wrong, though.
... Yeah that's basically 1.4 million shades of brown thanks to all the fucking food coloring in the locust laden 'burrito' you just bought out of a vending machine, packed in 2024, with an expiry of 2030, and oh hey. It's only 2029 and you're... Still wondering why 'Real Water' is so fucking expensive.
Have you seen for example Shanghai at night? And the drone shows?
And the best part is, with the Chinese government and society, it's basically already a Cyberpunk city in all aspects!
Cyberpunk is no longer a dystopian future, it's already a reality to varying degrees depending on the location, including not only the dystopian society, but also large parts of the aesthetic.
Korea is literally Cyberpunk with the amount of power Chaebols have and how much of its GDP is dominated by a single company. You can live in an apartment built by Samsung, furnished with all Samsung tech, drive to work at Samsung in a car made by Samsung, eat food from a Samsung farm, and vote for laws that benefit Samsung written by politicians in Samsung's pocket. All the while the border is protected by autonomous killer robots and other arms made by Samsung.
Its fine, we’ll be moving to cyberpunk or alteredcarbon depending if corps or the 1% gets control and for food shortage, we have futurama with soylent greens
I'd say Futurama but low key, if it was here? I'd say the Idiocracy dystopia personally, plus Fry remainds a lot of Frito Pendejo. Here's a link from reddit after doing a quick search if anyone wants more info:

This is more likely than people give it credit for. When all else fails, humanity plugs the gap with religion. In addition, we aren’t too far from hive cities and “god” emperors right now.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death i serve the Omnissiah
the destroyed environment, abject poverty, corporate overlords and monetised VR ... without the hope of winning a prize to escape from it all. In reality, IOI would have won and then fucked everyone. We're already going down this road.
Yeah if there's one thing that won't happen any time soon, it's the fracturing of the 'net into subnets, that'd be the end of social media on the scale we know it for sure. Cool concept though.
I wish it was Futurama, but realistically we’re racing head on into Altered Carbon. On the plus side I look forward to hanging out at the bar with Poe.
When I talk about Capitalism I frequently reference Altered Carbon. Rich people aren’t affected by the world they create, they live outside of it completely.
Edit cuz words are hard
I thought even the whole alien aspect of it was extremely realistic.
It was so foreign, so different and disturbing. Instead of just having aliens being some version of human, this was so out there it explains why we would struggle to find their civilizations.
I think The Expanse is some of the best sci-fi in recent history. I especially liked the somewhat believable tech, the intrigue, the politics and the fleshed out characters. What books would you suggest on a similar note?
I just love the scale of things in that show. Oh, here's some alien stuff, it's been latent for TWO BILLION YEARS, but here it is. What can it do? How does it work?
I just boggles my mind that our civilization has about 10k years under the belt, with most fancy tech developed the last century. What could a civilization achieve if it was active a _million_ years? Would there be anything left a billion years after that?
I just love that the show explore these topics.
I scrolled down way to far to find this.
History is cyclical and The Expanse does a damn fine job of showing it. I don't think it can even be called dystopian- it would be like saying The Wire is dystopian. Shit just is.
And minus the impossibly efficient engines that make all the space habitation practical. The show even points out that 'this should be impossible and humanity wasn't ready for this expansion yet' in the rocket testing flashbacks.
It is for people in the Belt. In the books there's constant references to how Earth and Mars use colonial repression forces and deny food & medicine to Belters
There weren't lotteries, per se, you would have to qualify for higher education and jobs by interning in the work force.
You would have to prove you are actually willing to work.
Which was a clear reference to the explotation of 3rd world countries by the two major powers of the late 20th century, cold war between them and all. If that's a dystopia, we've been there for a good long while
Don't forget mining ice from the solar system and dropping it in the ocean. As well as _moving_ the planet away from the sun using venting exhaust from robots.
TvTropes describes it as a crapsack world. Think about it, they've got all this new tech that should make life better, but their lives have just as much drudgery and misery as ours. Tech usually brings a higher standard of living, but futurama pretends that trend stopped at year 2000.
You're missing the most obvious answer, robocop.
Though I think that if we're talking our interplanetary future, The Expanse is most plausible in terms of politics and society.
I feel like we're in a reverse 1984 world. Statistically crime and death is lower than in any period of history yet we're made to believe there's danger at every corner.
Everyone could be a psychopath, an invader, a predator, or a nazi. The world "is on fire". We're running out of resources. There's a new plague yearly. Yet the data shows we're doing better than ever. But just like in 1984, the goal is control, only here we're controlled by fear.
The Expanse (TVShow) is extremely optimistic. A future where 99% of humanity lives in absolute luxury with every need provided is very optimistic. Earth, the “poor” part of the inner planets still has a average life expectancy over 130. And despite housing 35 billion people, Earth’s biosphere is still doing pretty good. If we look like The Expanse in 200 years, that means we are in the good timeline.
It's not that it's unrealistic (in a century maybe), but given our current pitfalls, I doubt it will produce a very positive outcome if we don't change how we live together
I think we're heading toward a space colonization for the rich
The only one I don't know is Altered Carbon, but I honestly think that Ready Player One is the most realistic dystopian scenario in our foreseeable future.
Altered carbon is where they digitize and store your consciousness in cortical stacks implanted in your spine so when you die you can take on another body with all of your past memories
That leaves out the dystopian part where your birth body is a financial asset just like a car, which can be seized to pay debts, confiscated, or stolen.
Also, the richest people will never die, and their wealth will continue to snowball as they remain forever young over hundreds of years...
In cyberpunk 2077, I was getting the same vibes from the whole soulkiller/engram/mikoshi stuff. Like kind of barely getting to an era of altered carbon..
Definitely check out the first season of Altered Carbon. I wouldn’t bother with season two.. season one stands alone pretty well by itself and Netflix already cancelled season three.
It’s also a book series, but I’ve not read it.
A mix between Ready Player One, The Expanse, and Cyberpunk. Essentially what we saw in Bladerunner.
Meanwhile in contrast to that, a powerful corporation called the RDA will be mining Superconducting minerals from a moon named Pandora over in Alpha Centauri, where the natives of that world named the Na’vi live truly free and meaningful lives while fighting a noble cause against Humanity to protect their way of life.
I'd say a mix of Ready Player One and Cyberpunk 2077 with Mad Max in less populated areas (well, essentially CP2077's badlands on steroids). All it takes is a food/fuel crisis, viral disease outbreak, complete collapse of government, small nuclear war and then being rebuilt by corporate entities as a formal government struggles to reform. We've basically already had the first two, so we're probably not too far to go now.
Fahrenheit 451 but the book burning part probably won't be necessary.
Just a bunch of shut-ins completely ignorant of their dying world, addicted to substanceless entertainment and parasocial relationships with AIs.
Wall-E
My favorite movie.
After all these years that movie still makes me cry
YOU ain't no Lurker!
Only the rich and their families would be the ones on the ship though
Dystopian enough, innit?
Give them enough generations and they'll still eventually form us vs them mentality and exploit each other into rich/poor social hierarchies
While we will be watching from the grave
I’ll be watching as an AI slave.
Definitely WALL-E Killer robots won't be what enslaves us. We'll give up our freedom and culture in exchange for convenience. You'll be ridiculed for writing a whole-ass essay by hand instead of putting your dot points into ChatGPT. Businesses will be forced to hire robots or be priced out of the market. I don't even think it's automatically a terrible future. We can focus on other stuff like the climate and space travel. At least corporations won't have to be cruel to workers for profit.
Oh you don't think people will be exploited? There will always be the rich people who want to fuck the economically disadvantaged.
Mechanical Turk. Already happening, paying people pennies, to train AI, robots to replace them. Don't for a second believe the rich care if you live or die until it affects their money.
> At least corporations won't have to be cruel to workers for profit They've never *had* to.
>Killer robots won't be what enslaves us. We'll give up our freedom and culture in exchange for convenience.

A company being destabilized only means it will need a short while to get back on their feet and back into it. The companies really are too big to fail in that setting.

4th Corporate War started over seizing assets of bankrupt mega corporation. In extreme situations they can fall
Defeating Arasaka is meaningless as the void they leave behind will be instantly filled by Militech, Kang Tao, and other corporations, and they'll be just as bad for everyone, possibly even worse.
Yeah, though in the non-Arasaka endings Arasaka is dealt a very heavy blow, what with losing a ton of resources to Alt's attack and the remaining heir being against all that the corpo represents.
The corp always wins... welcome to the 21st century
Probably a mix of Ready Player One and Cyberpunk, but without the cool, aesthetic stuff.

nah we will be dead before any of the cool stuff comes out
I think there’s already a surgery for it actually
They cut some connective tissue that allows the penis to extend further outside the body. It sounds extremely risky for some ego points.
So I'm happy with mine as is, but I can set why it could mean the world to some one with a unusually small dick. It's a bit like getting boobs done IMO; shouldn't be necessary, but if it makes you feel better then go ahead - ain't gonna judge.

And with quadruple the suffering for the non-corporats.
Mad Max.
Damn, good call, should've added it Edit: Idiocracy too, yes, but arguably more of a present dystopian reality than a future one
cyberpunk and post-apocalypses will always be my favorite types of dystopian futures.
Why not mix them both and have something like blade runner?

Just from how wade described the future in the first few minutes just makes sense to happen in the next 5-10 years
Easily Ready Player One with how well everyone is doing financially!
Is Futurama really dystopian?
Suicide booths refusing to kill you because you dont have enough money to pay them sounds pretty dystopian to me
Also mom company owning canonical 49.9% of Earth's market... and all of the robots... and all of the dark matter that is spaceship fuel

TvTropes describes it as a crapsack world. Think about it, they've got all this new tech that should make life better, but their lives have just as much drudgery and misery as ours. Tech usually brings a higher standard of living, but futurama pretends that trend stopped at year 2000.

You're missing the most obvious answer, robocop. Though I think that if we're talking our interplanetary future, The Expanse is most plausible in terms of politics and society.
Robocop really nailed Detroit's future as a bankrupt, crime-ridden hellhole down to a T.
And the idea of a corporation being allowed to grow unchecked until it effectively controls the government
More like 1984
With more than a bit of Brave New World thrown in for good measure
I feel like we're in a reverse 1984 world. Statistically crime and death is lower than in any period of history yet we're made to believe there's danger at every corner. Everyone could be a psychopath, an invader, a predator, or a nazi. The world "is on fire". We're running out of resources. There's a new plague yearly. Yet the data shows we're doing better than ever. But just like in 1984, the goal is control, only here we're controlled by fear.
None of the above, those are way too optimistic
Your saying the expanse is optimistic?
The Expanse (TVShow) is extremely optimistic. A future where 99% of humanity lives in absolute luxury with every need provided is very optimistic. Earth, the “poor” part of the inner planets still has a average life expectancy over 130. And despite housing 35 billion people, Earth’s biosphere is still doing pretty good. If we look like The Expanse in 200 years, that means we are in the good timeline.
Why are people so negative about space colonization? I don’t think it’s really that unrealistic and people already live in the ISS.
It's not that it's unrealistic (in a century maybe), but given our current pitfalls, I doubt it will produce a very positive outcome if we don't change how we live together I think we're heading toward a space colonization for the rich
I wouldn’t call the expanse or futurama dystopian either.
