[FRIAM] dystopian vision(s)

[Marcus Daniels]

I remember ~30 years ago a neighbor said it was inconceivable that people would read books on computers.  
Like computers being shrunk down into e-readers, the contact lenses will probably become streamlined too.  
I always found contact lenses kind of gross, but if they had additional features, I could maybe consider doing it.
I'd rather have a brain implant that could trigger the latent encoding layers for concepts than push it through my visual cortex.

At the top of my LIFO stack of dystopian things has been "The Line":

Pushed by a ruthless monarchy, funded by fossil fuels, bulldozing indigenous lands, ... yikes.

But I now have a new one on the stack:

Unlike bin Salman, these guys seem well-intentioned. But sheesh. I can't even imagine wearing that.
