"Can I speak to your manager?" replaces the lawsuit or the arrest. Due process is replaced by seemingly random procedures employed by a bunch of corporations interested in saving face and cutting losses. Eventually most people become unemployable, just in time for automation

The powers of a dwindling central government will be spent enforcing "must see TV" laws and ensuring that conversation online accords with the rotten tomatoes and metacritic scores for the things under discussion. Blockbuster attendance will be mandatory, like a puritan town hall

Failure to comply with these rules will require attendance at the blockbuster in question (as with Mr Show's "Coupon: the Movie) or writing a combo hot take/apology explaining why this piece of pop culture is Necessary Now and Good, Actually. Books will be judged solely by covers

The rest of us will need to make our opinions known constantly, to ensure our takes accord with current marketplace of ideas etiquette. Something like this is already happening...I've been around more powerful people, and their shoptalk is so gross and cynical it's unbelievable
