    Its 2050, you are waiting outside of the HR Office waiting for them to talk to you. You’re certain that your job has just been replaced by a robot.

    Fuck this shit, you thought, 90% of the people are unemployed anyways, fuck this 16 hour shift.

    You pull out your hand terminal (yes a “hand terminal”, as “smartphones” no longer have local storage now, almost all computing is done on cloud) and start typing in your journal app: “Down with the regime, Down with tyranny!”. You tap “save”.

    “Action not authorized. This incident has been reported”

    2 seconds later, you can hear sirens in the distance growing louder and louder.

        The ultra wealthy are building bunkers. Preserving any form of society no longer interests them.

          they wont be able to sustain it, without the 'worker" slaves turning on them, what more likely to happen is they live in the pristine cities while everyone else not part of that circle is in the slums outside the city.

      it will be worst, since most people wont have jobs, and are outside the cities in SLUMS. think ds9 2024 episode, or 4400 show.
