Thankyou for your compliment. Sometimes it's better to write about things in a descriptive way, so you enjoy the rant a little more - as I'm sure you'd agree.
I haven't seen that - but I've seen Black Mirror, and have been an avid fan of dystopian fiction of all kinds too, or speculative fiction, which I prefer. The 'worse case scenarios' and 'what ifs' are happening to us now, and any fiction seems only a day away from this point, rather than in a 1984, as it were.
I just can't understand why people are allowing it to happen. Well, I can, but I wish they'd think more laterally!
