    Interesting to read this once again in 2022. I hope the one VC guy has gotten his bunker ready because the train is already measurably picking up speed...

    Though, to be fair, I really wouldn't mind some kind of cyberpunk future in which the world is extended by immersive virtual realities and genetics/implants/whatever can eradicate illnesses and disabilities and give people more freedom to be who (and what) they want to be.

    As long as this tech is deployed to the benefit of all - and not used to drive inequality and social darwinism into such levels that the elites might as well become a new species of their own.
