Saw this and thought it was kind of neat:

Of course, technology forecasting is way less accurate or predictive than, say, our still not 100%-accurate weather forecasting models. So take it with a grain of salt!

Fantasy and the Buffered Self.. Long read article....we might take comfort from what seems to me the authentic core of the fantastic as a genre, as we see it from the standpoint of late modernity: fantasy may best be taken as an acknowledgment that the great problem of the pagan world — how to navigate as safely as possible through an ever-shifting landscape of independent and unpredictable powers who are indifferent to human needs — is our problem once more. The powers now may have different names than the ones Homer or Ovid knew, but they are powers all the same.
Please discuss?!
