       Why read dystopian fiction when you can just pay attention?

       @ErikUden Some people like to skip ahead and don't mind the spoilers I guess.

       @ErikUden the fiction is generally more enjoyable, not only because you're not experiencing the concequences but also far better writing with less plot-twists

       @ErikUden Like some of the people I've worked with over the years...you couldn't make this shit up, it would be panned as derivative, predictable and unrealistic. And yet here we are.

       @ErikUden I like the rhetorical angle of this question.One reason for me is to engage with people before they are ready.  I noticed this about scifi.The Expanse, Dune, Deep Space Nine ...These stories seem so obviously placeholders for contemporary things.  It's like softening people up before you lift veil.  "Fremen are Muslims" (Also regardless of to what extent the author intended it, maybe even they weren't ready to lift the veil themselves.)

       @ErikUden reality is so unsatisfactory in its beats and conclusions

       @ErikUden You mean watching the news or another form of entertainment?

       @ErikUden Well, to make a prognosis where current BS going, may be?

       @ErikUden Well, I'd say, for a happy escape from reality.
