In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.

Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.

      Nah, Idiocracy somehow got to 2505 with a livable Earth. We are not on that track.

        Good point, but I meant more the general civilization rather than the timeline.

      Tbh it’s starting to look more like Altered Carbon, except the core tech is complete vaporware because eel-on-musk made it.

      That, or CP2077.
