“Now this is an interesting piece, dating back to the Millennium. Take care not to slip on the very authentic, snow – also typical of the period.”
The crowd shifted, each visitor looking down at the white substance covering their boots, shaking it off. One man crouched down to feel it between his fingers; it was hard to believe this stuff had once fallen from the sky. In their world, there was no sky.

A dystopian future, don’t like that at all. Please stop that world now. I wish to get off.

The cocoon of technology. I am quite sure that many people are already living with minimal human contact …… and with more technology round the bend coupled with increasing social and political strife this piece has a ominous portend.

They can keep their world, thank you. No world where I can’t cuddle my kids and grandkids is worth having.
