Ohh, thanks for bringing this topic back! I loved it!
Lessee. I’ll do one for that girl with her arms spread out…

How’s that? 😛

Yes, that’s a good idea. First decide what political and economic system you are trying to critique for your dystopia. I’m thinking capitalism/oligarchy based on what I’ve read so far (neither of which would justify the tech regression and stagnation).
Especially for the police force. The rich have every incentive so supply ample…[Read more]

Oh. There wasn’t much elaboration on the Great Collapse though so I didn’t notice any nods towards to the Depression and didn’t make the connection but I’m sort of seeing it now…?
