Don't ya just hate/love it?
But imagine if it became sanitised - where the government decided to
put a "state ****" service in place (Ministry of Love-esque). You
could tune into whatever you wanted, each santisied thought spreading
out into a pink, fluffy mass of desire.
Then there would be the "hackers" outside of this, putting together VR
alternates, where pain and suffering and the wierder sides of love
become apparent - hey, everyone needs to be wrapped in Angora wool
every so often and spanked!
Why would the government have state ****? You could probably tax it -
it ain't going to be zero-rated for VAT... To control the male urges
of the populace etc. And if anyone thinks the future isn't hear yet,
go and have a quick look at the French TV channel TF1's website
(http://www.tf1.fr/
- if you search inside it for "***y", you'll find
stripteases, do***entaries on prostitutes etc).
PS - Has anyone read any of the Afterblight Chronicles by Simon
Spurrier (published by Abaddon Books)? Any feedback?
