Neither. The dystopia I fear is Terry Gilliam's Brazil, though on some days, I think we're headed toward Idiocracy.

- lapetitejort 5y agoWe need to update Robert de Niro's character Harry Tuttle. In Brazil he's a rogue plumber who will sweep in and illegally fix pipes that would take the bureaucratic system months to fix. In the end he's literally consumed by paper(work). In the modern era there's no visible plumbing to fix. Harry's only way to help the everyperson with their locked account is to tweet at the company's help handle. He's built up quite the celebrity doing just that and companies are forced to act on his demands. In the end, people are impatient, mention him too often, and his phone is DDoSed by a flood of tweets coming his way. He's never seen or heard of again.
- js2 5y agoI don't know. Within my company I feel like Harry Tuttle a lot of the time.
