I would like to remind everyone that Stross writes fiction for money. He does not make money off of accurate predictions. Here are some examples. Back in 2016, Stross was confident that Brexit would cause mass famine in the UK:[1] > I'm calling Hard Brexit a road to mass starvation and famine-grade deaths on a scale not seen in the UK since the Hungry Forties (that's the 1840s, not the 1940s). Despite the UK leaving the EU's single market, the UK's currency has not plummeted in value and such famines have not occurred. Stross has also been calling bitcoin a bubble since before most people heard about it. You'd think after a decade of being wrong he would change his mind. Even in 2017 when BTC was a mere $10,000, Stross claimed it was a commodity bubble. After receiving criticism for that view, he went a step further and declared that when the bitcoin bubble burst, it would cause those who lost their shirts to become neo-nazis.[2] If this all sounds unhinged, that's because it is. 1. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2016/10/facts-of-life-and-death.html https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2016/10/facts-o... 2. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2017/11/unforseen-consequences-and-tha.html http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2017/11/unforsee...
