There's a lot of ideas floating out there in popular culture about what the future will look like. From Cyberpunk dystopias to gleaming colonies in outer space to grim zombie apocalypses to transhumanist philosophers' paradises to global pandemics to hipster ecotopias. Me, I am dismissive of all of these. The only one that I think is even based on any sort of coherent, scientific thinking is that of the transhumanists, and even they are guilty of ignoring certain...basic physical & ecological laws. No, I've got a good idea of what the future will look like, and it isn't this, nor this, nor this, nor this, nor this, this, this, this, or this.
No, I've done my research, and I'm pretty sure that in the Grim Darkness of the Distant Future, our descendants will live lives rather like this, or perhaps this or this or this or this. In general, I mean, it'll look rather like these brilliant & beautiful photographs.
Living in the Grim Darkness of the Distant Future since 1986,

P.S. More coming soon.
