If anyone is interested, this is basically the first half of the speculative fiction story, "Mana" (https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 https://marshallbrain.com/manna1) which has been posted here on HN a few times.
- ryandrake 5y agoYea, it seems every year we are moving closer and closer to some dark mixture of Manna, Fifteen Million Merits [1] and Elysium [2], where regular people no longer serve any purpose, and are simply warehoused somewhere to keep them out of the hair of the few rich elite. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium_(film)
