Completly misunderstanding how society works is what tech bros do best!

Drawing of a tech bro being interviewed by the standard tech bro sychophant. Tech bro: “Philip K. Dick. Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors.”

But we’re going to make so much money, once we’ve invented the torment nexus!

It’s a shame no one’s made a real convincing fake book cover for this “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus”. It’d make for a fun little “secret stash” on a bookshelf or cube desk.

Can’t promise really convincing, but here is my try

Don't create the torment nexus

Reminds me of the joke

Convincing someone they are crazy is called gaslighting and it’s a dick move. Convincing someone they are an android is called blade running and it’s a Phillip k dick move.

That’s overloading the tags a bit, isn’t it? What on God’s Green Globe does CottageCore have to do with this?

@NickEast_IndieWriter @bookstodon @books @joinin @worldbuilding @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Philip K. Dyck's "Through a Scanner, Darkly" was prescient, and few get the message, nor the significance of the older biblical reference of "Through a Glass, Darkly"

I think you would have to read the Bible to get the reference

@NickEast_IndieWriter @bookstodon @books @joinin @worldbuilding @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop It astounds me to this day how little Musk must've read of Iain Banks's science fiction to have named his rockets after the minds in Banks's books and still hold the views he does.

Sure, some really dumb people think this dystopian science fiction story was written as a warning, but incredibly super smart people like me know it was really written as an instruction manual.

Of course they understand it. Its a roadmap for who has power and who doesnt. They want power. They are sociopaths.
