To be honest, I would like to find something like this: the world is ruled by a small group of people living in paradise without denying themselves anything, the world’s population is small, robots work everywhere instead of people, all entertainment content is done by AI, ordinary people live in poverty, often take cheap drugs to escape from reality.

I just want to look at our very likely future and how writers describe it. I want to get a taste of despair. It would be Ironic funny if the book was called something like: when hell looks like heaven.

About a year ago, I think I found a similar book, but I forgot the name.

    I think it’s better to see it in art form beforehand, maybe it will give me the courage.

      Or maybe it will sink you deeper. I rather go in the opposite direction and learn to rely less and less on whatever they try to sell me. “You will own nothing and be happy”, jokes on them, the older I get the more I realise I need less and less.
