There are windmills all over the place here and I love seeing them. To me this is what the future should look like. Poeple have used windmills for centuries, why stop now?
The world is invaded by day walker vampires somehow. Most of the human population is dead or turned, those remaining live under a cloud of distrust and paranoia - anyone could be a vampire. even the people you know could’ve been turned since you last saw them.
I don’t notice. Because of social anxiety, I stayed indoors.
Windmills are awesome. While traveling in Europe, I saw a massive wind farm off the coast of Sweden, cool as hell. Then I took a hike, and ended up at the base of one of these giant behemoths! Still cool.
The only visual pollution that irritates me is advertisements and billboards. I hate them passionately.
I always assumed the reason was to get more tendrils into your phone for that sweet sweet data $$$ and allowing themselves more control over shoving notifications in your face.
Space colonization , I could see a colony on the moon being feasible in the next 20 years probably more akin to an oil field where it’s mainly people extracting minerals and not recreational.
Clarke’s 3001 had a whole post script about all the sci-fi elements that had actually been realised since he wrote 2001 (back in 1968). It’s rather an interesting list, but unfortunately my copy of the book is buried deep in a moving box atm. so I’m not going to quote it.
