Bloody hell, I swear we're living in the pulpiest political-thriller novel I've ever fucking heard of.
- api 9y agoMy personal theory for a while has been that the world actually did end in 2000. We are living in a parody alternate dimension where the previous gods have been replaced by low-rent hacks. This timeline is like a show that's been renewed for one season too many.
- rbanffy 9y ago> the previous gods have been replaced by low-rent hacks Do you have any idea how much an actual god costs?! This is the best we could manage. Be grateful this low-budget universe is still here.
- pault 9y agoI don't want to go too far off topic, but every time I turn on the news lately I feel like I'm stuck in a dystopian cyberpunk thriller. Funny how we never got the flying cars and jetpacks from our 20th century utopian sci-fi, but the Phillip K Dicks and William Gibsons seem to be right on the money.
- PeachPlum 9y agoThe news, on TV. Where did you find that?
- sgift 9y agoCyberpunk promised us high tech and low life. Good job, we got at least one of these.
- tankenmate 9y agoLow life is easier to distribute than high tech. The future is already here...
