Wow. It's surreal reading something written by someone here my brain keeps trying to read it like a copypasta, not through any fault of your own but because it's so close to the things we do bits about, but then those bits are born of cynicism and material analysis and why wouldn't everything in that first page be the norm in this future? I had to take a step back and reread it trying to dissociate it from that and it's really good so far.
