So, so true! Science Fiction has been becoming Science Fact for so many years we no longer seem to notice it (unless you are a life long sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian reader like me) and I agree we seem to be becoming a dystopian society more and more each day. Having family that live in Flint that were so convinced by the city government that changing their water system to a horribly polluted river was a good idea, they never thought to tell us they could die from lead poisoning. And now they are finding over-the-limit high levels of dangerous pollutants in the water systems of Kansas City suburbs (25 miles from where I live) makes me happy that we have always used bottled water, but how long before water systems all over the country are so bad that bottled water becomes such a high price that only the wealthy can afford it. Sounds like a good book idea before it actually happens, if only I knew an excellent dystopian writer (Matt) but then, would it be a case of dytopian fiction becoming dystopian fact at some point in the future. And yes, the water issues popping up do have me worried. I’ll end my comment by saying this is such an absolute truth blog post and I agree with you!!
