You think you found a bone, but sorry, you were misled: 1 - The Last Night is a complex heterotopia, not a binary dystopia. That's fundamental to the vision. 2 - I advocated for UBI many times in many places. I explained it all: https://twitter.com/timsoret/status/953301908151832576 … + https://twitter.com/search?q=timsoret%20ubi&src=typd … https://twitter.com/scottsantens/status/1080352050188296192 …

The creative death is obviously not due to minimum income, but to full automation of life, work, and art. I’ve explained it 100x already, if only you would have a sincere approach instead of jumping on me, assuming the worst & extrapolating nonsense. https://twitter.com/scottsantens/status/1080362607503200256?s=21 …

Creative death via automation done in a way that increases creator access to resources in addition to available time for humans to enjoy what's created is an astoundingly absurd claim to be rejected as forcefully as the need for slavery to avoid laziness.https://twitter.com/scottsantens/status/1074192915776253953 …

A large number of sci-fi stories include and focus on slavery of machines and a.i., some even arguing for humans over artificial life. Are we supposed to reject those ideas because their fiction is too radical? I’m confused. Are we burning books now?

Not sure where you're getting book burning from a tweet about rejecting fiction that supports slavery "for our own good." There were books written about how black people needed to be forced to work. I don't suggest burning them. I also don't see the point in writing a new one.

If there’s a video game that has explored a fully automated future and it’s implications on our species I don’t know that I’ve played it, and I don’t know why that’s such a dangerous premise to you to explore in fiction to warrant drawing a comparison to promoting slavery.
