One of the reasons I
have always loved scifi is because it involves forward-thinking
imagination, with predictions made based on current trends hinting at
our possible future. Looking back, we can even see that a number of
present-day inventions are inspired by scifi stories. We sometimes
also see chilling predictions that have begun to come true, such as
the removal of personal privacy through technology, as predicted in
George Orwell's ”1984.” Sometimes predictions appear in
lesser-known writings, but are so frighteningly accurate that it
feels almost as if the writer was a prophet. A friend of mine
recently shared a passage from a cyberpunk book written in 1995
called,"Neo-Tribes.” You can find it here on Amazon:

Before you read this
quote from the book, keep in mind, this was written 24 years ago...
