Our Dangerous Future... By Steve Glenn Excerpt from "The Exegesis of Steve" 1984 - Citizen's Band Quarterly One thing is clear to me. The future will involve shitloads of television. In a post-nuclear environment, people will turn to television the way they have turned to radio in years past for their news. There will be robots that we will have to convince to let humans be on television. But I think that we can make a pretty good case, because we look better. And humans can even pretend to act like robots sometimes, so they probably won't even know the difference. I saw a guy at the mall dance like a robot once. Robots and television and really awesome dance music called techno (this stands for technology) will be all over the place and dancing to this music will have a lot to do with your status in society. "No dance, no dinner" will be a very strict rule. There will be dozens of very important underground militias that congregate in "television-space" to get there missions and news from a decentralized command force. The enemy is the state and the FCC. Everyone will drive the same car except the revolutionaries who will all drive vans and camaros. The enemy will swoop down in attack choppers, just like on Airwolf. Only this time, Stringfellow Hawke will be evil and working for the FCC. Peace and freedom won't mean as much as it did to our forefathers. Scarfing a strip of domestic cat or dog meat every blue moon will pass for happiness. Children will grip their master's breast and beg for relief from the constant toil of gas-mining. The elderly will pray for a heaven as they open their wrists to rest their irradiated souls. Mutants, former humans deformed from radiation, will attack the friendly rainbow robots and the remaining happy folks for their technology (CBs, ham radios, hi-fi systems, 3/4" VTR decks). Folks will be scattered. Technology will be in the hands of mutants and the rich humans who could afford bunkers or could take their submarines to Antarctica. Mutants will horde tech to satisfy their last remaining human urge: instant gratification through the mediated infoscape (aka the Televerse). The rich will exterminate the poor human survivors because they will need the remaining tech to coordinate restoration of beaurocracies for their piece of mind. Our dangerous future ain't pretty. Humanity's only chance is to find a champion of freedom. One who will fight the mutants, beurocrats, and their rich masters. Once who will be the custodian of hi-technology for the generations to come. And he must not be afraid to frog the federal government in the arm with the extended knuckle of common sense. Otherwise we humans and our future allies, the rainbow robots, will all face certain extinction or, at the very least, be denied our fundamental right to quality television and radio shows. I can't beleive those bastards canceled Manimal AND Automan! |
