I used to believe that the dysfunctional crime ridden mega corporation controlled future societies portrayed in SciFi was not going to happen. However I am starting to believe that it will happen in the US and not in Western Europe. The glorification of guns and violence, the stress and fear in everyday life, and the “f** everybody else as long as I get mine” attitude is a uniquely strong undercurrent in US culture. I have lived, worked, and paid taxes in the US, Europe, and Australia. So I have seen the differences in culture up close, giving me a perspective that most haven’t. I hope I am wrong. I fear I am not.
