Eating babies is just so last year. Pickled kakapo is the only dish for the serious connoisseur.

No, because these people, the non-aspirational, are the problem. They're not getting rich and wonderful. They're not people, in the sense that media needs people it can identify with.

Pri(s)ons are hypothesized to infect and propagate by refolding abnormally into a structure which is able to convert normal molecules of the protein (prisoner) into the abnormally structured form.

We're limited only by our imagination. Seems that the limit is not as unlimited as first thought. It's a given that we have to write about a future that we can engage with. I doubt the real future will be like that. I certainly doubt our ability to predict anything, given the hilarity of old science fiction.
I'm enjoying Bruce Sterling's The Caryatids*,
it's a predicted future, 2060, I can believe in...
..thus far, guess I won't see it myself.*2009 novel though, not 2010
