#dystopias #PKDick #TheManInTheHighCastle
#AlternativeHistory #fascistsKim Seong-kon is a professor emeritus of English at Seoul National University and a visiting scholar at Dartmouth College. He wrote this review;
"What if Nazism and imperialism had won?
Recently, I watched the alternate-history dystopian television series *The Man in the High Castle* with great enthusiasm. Based on the 1962 novel by Philip K. Dick and produced by Ridley Scott, the TV drama explores the compelling themes of another possibility, another history and another world. It also presents the themes of xenophobia versus racial harmony, uniformity versus diversity and tyranny versus resistance, all of which have colored our history with blood.
(. . .)
*The Man in the High Castle* suggests that acknowledging the possibility of an alternate history, another world or a parallel universe is important because it gives us valuable lessons and hope. If we firmly believe that the present reality is the one and only absolute truth, we may become narrow-minded and short-sighted. On the contrary, if we accept the possibility of other realities and different worlds, it will open our eyes and broaden the horizons of our perception. Furthermore, our vision of another world will encourage and enable us to build a better world."

Could #Starlink satellites be used as deathrays? We are thinking of a sci fi about that... just how much do we trust Musk #technology with the backdrop of Malthusian arguments about populace being so popular (even though the top 10% cause 64% of the pollution so it would not technically do much if they killed poor people who 'have too many kids') do we need this story or have we had enough of #dystopias

It is considered a certainty that #quantum computers will crack all currently known encryption techniques in no time at all.
Once #AI runs on them—AI trained by human #greed and a #addiction for control, having learned that #security is an accepted pretext for establishing total #surveillance—the worst #dystopias will become reality. Hopefully, the cheers of all the proponents will then stick in their throats.
But go ahead and celebrate your #convenience; indulge in the #laziness of not having to learn anything new, while you exploit the knowledge and skills of those who studied and trained for years—only to be ruthlessly robbed. Your disrespect and stupidity disgust me!

In all the fictional representations I've seen of #dystopias, absolutely none of them included public health experts trying to raise the alarm about a looming #pandemic by filming themselves delivering academic citations while wearing lingerie at a swimming pool.
