You were taken from this world, and God now speaks to you. God asks you what punishment should be dealt to humanity for their sins. You can pick any fictional or theoretical dystopian scenario, as long as it is truly dystopian. After you’ve made your pick, your memory of the conversation is wiped, and you are brought back to earth to live the rest of your life however it might play out. The future of the world will be hard set in destiny to a future inspired by whatever you picked.

If you had to pick the dystopia to live in, what would it be?

    Actual cyberpunk is actually looking better than the trajectory of reality because a cornerstone of cyberpunk dystopias are populations so large there are plenty of tucked away places to make some semblance of a life for yourself outside of the prying eyes of big brother. There’s still enough privacy left intact for seedy underbellies to exist.
