[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7776869, member: 6802378"] We aren't talk to talk about serious matters, this isn't the right place. But we can talk about the link between speculative fiction and real world, or with the History. If we talk about a cyberpunk RPG then we talk about the reports against abuses by oligarchies and corporatocracies, or how current sci-fi needs its equivalent to "Atlas's shrugged" by Ayn Rand. Not always is "fault by OCP" or "Umbrella Corp is the evil corp". I hope I can say this: Speculative fiction should teach us about economy shouldn't be controlled totally by politicians because as Thomas Sowell said (with other words) the worst mistake is allowing to choose for you who don't worry about suffering consequences to be wrong. China can't rule the world because they will lose the cultural war. The censure and lack of enough self-criticism will block the necessary creativity to dominate the industry of speculative fiction. Japan and South-Korea have got better tools to thwart Chinese tries of using speculative fiction as a propaganda weapon for example videogames where the main antagonists are a satirical allegory about Maoist dictatorship, like George Orwell's "Animal Farm".
