The funnest opening scene of any cyberpunk book. Perfect for a film treatment.

I prefer the Bill Hicks reference of making it mandatory for everyone to smoke weed so the only people on the roads are Domino's delivery

Would love to see what this person would think after Covid. If microwaves wrecked this person's outlook on people, covid would have blown their mind

#6What a nice example of 1980s corporate greed maximizing profits over human life. Modern delivery food delivery services can be seen making the same delivery-by guarantees, so we haven't fully learned our lesson.

I first heard about cocooning in a Faith Popcorn book a friend was reading.
It was some of what was written, but also about how we don't sit on the front porch and visit with neighbors in the evening, and rarely see our front doors, much less our neighbors.

I don't think this one is actually true. I remember TV dinners replacing home cooked meals not eating out.
Going back before frozen dinners you're back to the time when people actually cooked at home, going out to eat was a rare treat rather than a daily occurrence.
