I chuckled a few times reading this. I've always wondered what things will be like in 30-50 years from now when nursing homes fill up with unmarried millennials playing video games. It's amusingly absurd.
A chilling read as I see too much of Marty in me. Marketing note: I had this book on my wishlist for a long time. Reading this got me to pull the trigger.
I'd read this last year but, like a fairytale with an important lesson in it, it drew me right back in. This feels like a pretty accurate forecast. In fact you influenced my life perspective after that first read, because I now consider aspects of our society as they would be perceived by somebody 30+ years away on either end. This actually filters some things: I no longer watch news or almost any film or television, I eat mostly animal products with some fruit and fermented veggies, I no longer go to the gym but instead carry heavy weights for 5-15 minutes. Many other things because...why do things only because they are modern? Instead, strive to do things that make sense. Fake information, fake food, and fake exercise seem strange.

This is prophetic.

This is very good.
