I feel the same way but you've articulated it beautifully here. I tried for years to get people to understand by protesting and being so angry but it's just useless. I think it's more important to try and articulate a more utopian future and how we could get there, so I want to write scifi about that, but I've struggled to have time to really sort out my ideas in a way that would come across to people. I can envision a positive future for humanity but not through tech acceleration which just fuels fascism and fragmentation as you call it, but some kind of post apocalypse collaborative evolution of humanity once whatever we're doing now collapses. I'd love to see optimism through tech but due to human behavior, I don't see it.
