This would be satire, if it weren’t so predictive.

There really are people for whom this prospect for the future is highly inviting.

Makes “Blade Runner” seem almost retro.

In “Blade Runner”, both humans and replicant slaves crave freedom, and some of them achieve a measure of it. In the portrayed society here, in a fate worse than “Brave New World”, those who want more are lomobotmized into slaves instead of exiled to islands of freedom.
