“The power and control we are capable of exerting over one another has always fascinated me, and I think when you force your characters to make difficult decisions in heightened environments you see the worst but also the best of humanity.”

—Rachelle Atalla on dystopia, inspiration, & the difference between writing for page & screen

Me parece que cada vez nos acercamos más al futuro distópico de “gobierno por franquicias” de #SnowCrash. Ahora una corporación tendrá su propia ciudad. La evolución del #CorpTown

No sé cómo sentirme al respecto. 🫤

This is one of my absolute favourite dystopian visions. The whole thing is creepy and disturbing, but when Colossus starts controlling Dr. Forbin and Dr. Markham's living arrangements and daily activities to the tiniest detail...

Tell me you’ve never seen a #dystopian #scifi movie without telling me you’ve never seen a dystopian sci fi movie.

Yesterday's midnight, my gf and I discussed about the future where Quantum Computing and AI have evolved.

We had some crazy predictions, especially the #dystopian ones.

What do you think? Any brighter predictions?

I had caught #Creamerie recommendation via @OldAintDead and was immediately drawn to it (without reading the review until after S1).

So far, two episodes into S2, I'm enjoying the characters, the world building, the absurdity of surviving in a #feminist #dystopian #nightmare, and the whole bunch of "yeah, I can totally see that happening." It's dark and hilarious, and I love it! 🖤

@Metaphorosis Magazine does a neat thing when they buy one of your stories, where they ask you to write about the origins of the story, what inspired it, how it got made, etc. Then they post it six months after they publish your story.

Six months ago they published my story The Frozen Generation, and have made the how-it-got-made post available today. https://magazine.metaphorosis.com/authors/2023/it-came-from-jacob-coffin/
