If our present path doesn't change drastically, the science seems to suggest we are likely to experience a collapse of civilization — and we'll have nobody but ourselves to blame.

    I would argue we’ve already got the “semi” part in the present, with the full dystopia on the way

      Not sure what you mean, we only have growing inequalities, fascism on the rise, mass media being extremely polarised, mega corporation basically running the world, a climate catastrophe in progress, a mass extinction and a plastic problem, mass surveillance being rolled out everywhere and at least one genocide running its course.

      How much more dystopian can it get ?

      Oh yeah, a lot more, somehow (ai face recognition, water and food shortages, extreme weather patterns, killer drones, etc.)

    The world is facing a semi-dystopian present.
