Most likely Sci-Fi future for the world?

[LostInAnomie]

Poll question: Most likely Sci-Fi future for the world?

How will modern society be destroyed?

[XemaSab]

1. Half of the world: 1984

The other half: Mad Max.

I feel like the divide between first and third worlds is becoming more acute, not less.

[LostInAnomie]

2. I'm thinking it will either be a future of Eugenics or Artificial Intelligence

I'm betting on Artificial Intelligence because I think it would be easier to achieve.

[AmyDeLune]

3. Combination of all

ending with Zombie apocalypse. :D

[pokerfan]

4. Before I even saw your options

I thought, "Orwellian dystopia." So you know how I voted.

[wickerwoman]

5. Idiocracy

although there's the tiniest chance that technology will bring about a non-materialistic Star Trek like future.

[LostInAnomie]

6. Damn, I forgot Idiocracy!

That's a good one.

[OmahaBlueDog]

7. Something between "Brave New World" & "Rollerball"

..with a touch of "Logan's Run" thrown in.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. If we don't get rid of the corporate whore media and the "voting" machines

It will definitely be Idiocracy.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. The world is going to end in 2012, so I doubt any of these.

[baldguy]

10. Blade Runner

A corporatocracy where humans are obsolete.

[DFW]

11. If we don't acquire some common sense soon, it'll be "I Am Legend"

[rcrush]

12. Which one is this?

With micro chips and surveilance cameras everywhere. Cops will be dressed up like storm troopers all the time. And we will be ruled by alien/lizard overlords.

[DFW]

13. "The Day Dick Cheney Became President?"

[siligut]

21. Is that you David Icke? nt

[amyrose2712]

27. They Live?

[DarkTirade]

14. Other: Cyberpunk. Corporations are their own government while

the masses have their little cyberspace bread and circuses.

[petronius]

31. Yeah - I think William Gibson is the most likely to have gotten it right

I suspect future history books will sound a lot like Virtual Light...

[leeroysphitz]

15. Other: Soylent Green and I bet it'll be damn near scene for scene...

One day you'll look down into the street and the bulldozers will scooping up the hungry masses.

[OwnedByFerrets]

16. Wall-e, without the heartwarming ending.

[TommyO]

20. And without Peter Gabriel to write the end-credit music!

[Phoonzang]

17. Anyone played the game Deus Ex?

I'm convinced that's what the world is going to be like in 50 or 60 years. Also see: Ghost in the Shell.

I don't think the future will be either Heaven or Hell.

[Eyerish]

18. Other: Part 1984 - Part Idiocracy

The dumber we become the easier we are to manipulate...

[TommyO]

19. This has all happened before, this will all happen again

Humans have a remarkable knack for never learning from our mistakes, therefore we are doomed to repeat them. Eventually the mistake will be big enough to prevent our recovery from it, and we'll start the cycle again.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. I'm banking on zombie apocalypse.

It's the only one I'm prepared for.

[MilesColtrane]

23. Other

Grey Goo

[Deja Q]

24. Futurama

:evilgrin:

[Marrah_G]

25. Battlestar Gallactica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bikebloke]

26. James Howard Kunstler's World Made By Hand

with a good dollop of Mad Max.

[JTG of the PRB]

28. Other: We are, in my opinion, destined/doomed to become the Borg.

Star Trek essentially gave the blueprint of how the Borg work - nanotechnology, consciousness linked by computers, half-man/half-machine hybrids... If hyou ask me, since the Borg already exist in popular culture, there may be a day when somebody is just crazy enough to work out a way to link us all neurally using nanotechnology... And then we shall become the scourge of the galaxy, assimilating other, weaker species at will, bringing them into our collective to become more mindless drones in the hive.

Hope you guys like cubes!

30. Damn, that's a good one too.

I wish I would have included that one.
