Well sure but why blame it on sci-fi?
Sounds to me like those people would create the torment nexus with or without sci-fi.
It’s not like it’s super hard to come up with the concept of e.g. colonising Mars.
- krapp 3y agoThe article isn't blaming sci-fi, it's blaming tech elites for missing or ignoring the deeper implications and warnings in what they read, and twisting it into some wierd, dark mirror utopian fetish. I mean, one could just as well be a fan of sci-fi and realize the torment nexus is a bad thing, and not create it, even if one is a nerd with all the time, power and money in the world.
- swayvil 3y agoScifi can deliver an illusion of understanding. A metaphorical description of something very strange that the reader never actually experienced firsthand. That's a deep kind of dream. Not saying the vision is entirely invalid, but maybe it isn't as intimate an understanding as the reader thinks. It's a bit like religious literature that way.
