I must confess that when I was younger I expected the future to have more robot butlers and jetpacks, and less plague and fascism, but here we are.
@thewritertype As a kid growing up in the 70s & 80s on a steady diet of #StarTrek reruns, I used to think we were heading in that direction as a society. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” and all that. Not so much nowadays, though I’m not totally without hope. I did at least expect a moon base by 1999, though.
