I can't possibly name all the science fiction writers who have created similar tales, but I will express deep appreciation to such influences as Aldous Huxley and "Brave New World", George Orwell and "1984", as well as a number of films such as "Soylent Green", "Logan's Run" and more recently "Strange Days".
21st Ce
ntury LoveSo you download in the morning, so you can upload in the evening
and you lay out all the right pills to complement the mood,
and you find yourself a partner who is tuned in to your wavelength, who's not carrying any baggage that you don't need to bring along, and you must prepare the latex before you stimulate the cortex and you fasten down the seat belts and prepare yourselves for the ride…Chorus
21st Century Love, 21st Century Love Where half the pleasure is in the anticipation Where half the pleasure is in the anticipationSo you go down to the center and you sign up for euthanasia
and you want to do your duty and you'd like to be the first,
then you head down to the local pub and your friends are there to greet you
and you try to find some stimulant to satisfy your thirst,
then you see some bird who knows you who’s at loose ends for the evening
her electrodes are implanted and you think you could do worse
Chorus
So you're home watching the telly and they say that men are walking
on the distant moons of Jupiter, they're there to Mine the wealth,
then you're telephone starts ringing, it is someone from the center
and your number has been chosen, you can congratulate yourself,
So you fire up the console and you rev up the electrodes
and you wait there for the down load that will free you of yourself...
Chorus
Quote for the year: "Back in the day we just called it Sci-Fi without a Y."
