Talk:From 2053

Okay, since you asked and it's sci fi, here's my in-depth opinion: At first I was distrustful of the introduction, claiming that a middle eastern person (well, *part* of Turkey is in the middle east) wrote this, my hopes were brought even downer when I've seen the use of the word America to refer to the United States, but then I've seen some weird grammatical errors, the kind English-speaking people don't usually make, so my hopes are up. My dream may have finally been realized. About the story, it's interesting. There's a big sense of suspense all over it and I'm particularly intrigued with the "resurrect plant, write, kill plant" process of data storage, though it must be inefficient, it sounds cool, and that's what sci fi is about. The "Africa becomes the richest place in the world due to new technologies" thing is possible, though not overly probable, with the puny amount of money invested in R&D there. But hey, it's like the USA and the automobile, so I don't see why not.

I think only that it should explain a little bit the Africa part, did Africa become a completely united continent? How did the tribes settle their differences, what about the completely different cultures of white and black africa? Also, the part about the United States is a bit...weird? Sure, their presidents have the awful habit of pissing people off by coup d'etating other people's countries and sending in Milton Friedman to wreck their economies (Damn you Lyndon Johnson! Damn you!), but I doubt they'd do something as crazy as warring "all that is not Christian or Jew", besides a recession and eventual collapse of the locomotive of global capitalism won't be nearly as good for the other capitalist countries as the story assumes, unless there's a big change in the way stuff operates. Otherwise it'll be like in '29, remember '29? Man that was bad, people had to bring wheelbarrows of money to German markets, luckily Hitler came in and saved the day!
