And can i get a metaverse, a government sponsored drug that makes me dead inside, a blood born mind control meme virus that only infects computer programmers, a department of book burning, a truly ridiculous surveillance/censorship regime in the UK, and light bulbs that hate me?

Maybe a billionaire trying to live forever by literally stealing his son's body, a ring world over earth, or hologram girlfriend products that manage to be even more fake than the men they fawn over?

With a side of soylent?

Edit: and if we could build an extremely racist bot, maybe some sort of mecha-hitler, put it in charge of some DOD stuff; either a space station where it can try to be god or the nuclear arsenal and maybe we make it do nothing but hate? Ill settle for a spooky castle, if i gotta, but...

    No, no; not at all.

    Some are more or less recent, but more importantly most are things our billionaire class is trying for.

    Oh, i could go for a side of mecha hitler, too. Split a side of mecha-hitler?
