RE: Where Is The Dystopia?

Hollywood pushing dystopian scenarios related to technology isn't that surprising, since Hollywood was generally hostile towards new technologies through its histories, especially those technologies that directly or indirectly threatened its bottom line (like television, video games, computers, Internet). But those neo-Luddite attitudes are just continuation of earlier historical trends, like "return to nature" and rejection of modernity.

I'm generally more optimistic than pessimistic about new technology. What I see as the most likely scenario for dystopia is when technology and technology-related economies collapse and governments are forced to rediscover old methods of keeping unruly populations in check.
