  At first I thought it was something epic like a digital ‘dragonborn’

  some episodes of Black Mirror struck terror into my heart like no other. They were grim warmings for the possible future masquerading as fiction, as grim warnings often do. Though what the show could not forsee was how fast it would come true. And it could not forsee how wide a scale would be affected, those were singular stories from those worlds, the effect of the technology showcased on the lives of a few, a pinhole view into the dystopia

  if you haven’t already, watch the episode Be Right Back. you better start believing in sci-fi dystopias, we’re in one

    Most of Black Mirror episodes are reality right now, not just far fetched sci-fi.

    Sometimes they use technology to tell the story a bit differently, but it’s almost never anything new.

      yeah i’m not the biggest fan of the seasons made by americans, they feel strangely hollow to me most of the time. the first two seasons has all my favourite episodes, and by favourite i mean the ones that made me weep for the future

        “Don’t you dare go hollow!” and the Americans were like - Hold my beer!

  I’m just gonna keep imagining it’s a clan of Timberborn beavers that are born on the ziplines.

    I can get behind that. Well, as long as you don't start pretending you're in a relationship with them.

      Pretending? I am in a relationship with them

  A similar term “cloudborn” isn’t even dissimilar from the idea of storks delivering babies from heaven. Fuel for a science fiction book or RPG. Less so for actual humankind.

  title of the next brandon sanderson series. it will have a princess in it, and a 5 year old’s idea of progressive gender roles

    progressive gender roles

    I’m not five years old and what’s this?

    /tongue in cheek

      the princess will be spunky and do adventures! she’ll think it’s silly how men get to wear pants, when it’s so much easier to jump between buildings in pants. y’know, standard feminist stuff.
