why is sci-fi from 20th century so more interesting than the one from 21st?

After some break from sci-fi decided to come back with this vintage gem:
“Inherit the Stars”.
Loved it, truly suggested to anyone who loves sci-fi genre

Language is the alien virus. It pulled us up from our monkey lives so that we could build it a better host.

So far my platform experience has been:
BlueSky — good platform, but a high number of crypto skeptics. Easier to generate content for noobs.
X — definitely feels like the oxygen got sucked out of the room, but OGs still around
Farcaster — definitely feel like a small mouse in a room full of lions because everyone here is big brain 🥹

Finally returned to Maud and Mara and reviewed where I left off. Not ready to publish the next chapter of their lives but feeling good to have visited my characters again.
The story plays on earth. So far I have no interests in bringing in a new planet or space fare into the journey. I'm inspired by Fahrenheit 451, Neuromancer, and the Borderlines (Peter Høeg).

This might be one of the best sci fi books I’ve ever read. I can’t wait to read the whole series.

with how fucked up the ethics of big tech companies are, humanity isn't ready for that

I wrote this a couple years ago under the pseudonym Ben Wilson, I was intending to produce a series of instructional blog posts written by Ben for the fictional company Influx, which sold a device that allowed you to control your dopamine triggers on your phone
The idea was that it would be an exploration of reward hacking and goal drift, as well as a commentary on (mostly my own, but also society's) fucked up priorities in life, and then eventually have Ben, their guinea pig, descend into madness with him one day accidentally setting his wordcount dopamine trigger too high and producing a Ulysses like ending of Autocomplete nonsense
Never wrote the second installment because I didn't really have an audience to share with at the time so I lost interest
