Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, “our city”. I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.”

Here’s how life could change in my city by the year 2030

There is a very good science fiction novel written by Walter Tevis. The title is “Mockingbird”. He wrote it 41 years ago.

This sorta reminds me of Brave New World, but the novel by Tevis is a definite jolt as well.

Thank you for posting this.
