What does peer-voted mean? Well, that you are either attending the National Convention (or have in recent years) or that you are ‘active in fandom’. What does the latter mean?[image error]
As I understand it: if you’ve been to a convention in Australia,

| Plausible (and therefore depressing) scenario that explores how the isolationism of the US and the anaemic disfunction of Europe could further embolden Russia, and result in the end of NATO. | |

“When our decision-making is nurtured by corporate algorithm, when so many of our experiences are their simulations of experience, when we’ve outsourced our memories to be stored and filed away, by them. When our every moment is sampled, deconstructed, and built back into Trojans—advertising, architecture, news reports—that reformat our lives. How can we exist, then, when we’re someone else’s dream? They create these cities, Jack, and cities are huge external memory devices. But the memories are not ours, always those of others.”

“They create the spaces within which we live our lives, moulding us to fit into the places they define—public or private, park or car park. We are created and re-created by our spaces. It’s a constant feedback loop. Space shapes behaviour—what you can do in it, what you can’t. It’s identity. Here, we can exist, in a space not fully imaged, but once their minds return to this place, we will be gone.”
