What will it look like to you, or do you think it will be more or less the same? For example, in the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, there were movies and shows that took place in our current time, and they look nothing like our actual time. Like, Back to the Future Part II took place in 2015, and that 2015 looks NOTHING like our 2015. So, realistically speaking, how do you think 2063 will look?
nothing worth sticking around to see.
Wars over clean water and food. Wildfires, drought. Even if the US recovers from Trump we’ll almost certainly still be living in an extractive capitalist hellscape run by sociopaths, along with the rest of the world. By this time I suspect something similar to Cyberpunk’s Blackwall will be necessary, as if one is not the cause of an apocalypse I can fully believe rogue AIs would become a nuisance/hazard on the open internet by that time. And we’ll also probably start seeing things like Neuralink and other BCIs coming onto the market for general purchase to provide a whole new avenue of technofascist horrors – how about running ads in your field of view? In your dreams? Or how about mind reading, anyone? Or even just simple malware. Fun! Fun fun fun.
I’m aiming to die of a massive heart attack in my fifties, so hopefully I will be dead before the 2060s.
