It could be. The future is what we make it; nothing more, nothing less.

Anything that does not violate the laws of physics is a possible future. And anything we can actually do, we can afford. The liberal future of slurping bug slurry in a concrete pod locked 23 hours a day โ€œfor your own goodโ€ is a possible one too, of course. Those are the versions we should resist unto death itself but arenโ€™t doing a particularly good job of forestalling.
