In 2054 Capitalism Dies in Space | In 20xx Scifi and Futurism by In 20xx Futurism
When people in space are cut off from Earth an imbalance of owner vs. customers comes to a breaking point. The people in space believe no one is left alive on Earth. As far as they know, the (around) 12,000 in space is all that's left of humanity.
Those living on and near the moon form Luna Nation. Space refugees scattered near Earth must find a way to insure a future for themselves and their children.
AI that in many ways exceed human intelligence play a part in a skirmish for resources. What does it take to outsmart an AI that can make you think you're having a video call with a co-conspirator when it's the AI you are talking to?
An finally, if AI can make a six part miniseries staring Drew Barrymore and Crispin Glover about using DNA banks to spawn a new human race, what parts would the two actors play?
Here's a list of the technology mentioned in the story:
1. Orbital stations and space habitats
2. Micro-gravity adapting robots (e.g., vacuum bots)
3. Smart glass walls
4. Satellite cameras
5. AI assistants (e.g., Butler AI)
6. Augmented Reality (AR) glasses
7. Canal links (brain-computer interfaces)
8. Virtual Reality (VR) equipment
9. Life support systems for space
10. Automated mining and manufacturing in space
11. Fusion-powered spaceships
12. Electric thrusters for spacecraft
13. Legacy tracking systems for spacecraft
14. Ejection systems for spacecraft
15. Motion stabilizers for space suits
16. Emergency beacons in space suits
17. Artificial wombs
18. DNA banks
19. Brain scanning and digital copying technology
20. Robots capable of performing complex tasks
21. Centrifuges for simulating gravity
22. Terraforming technology (theoretical, for Venus)
23. Advanced medical automation
24. Custom cell cultivators
25. Organ printing technology
26. Stasis technology for long space journeys
27. Laser tight-beam communication
28. Rockets and missiles (mentioned as being disabled)
29. Closed-circuit TVs in spacecraft
30. Space construction vehicles (e.g., "spider")
31. Delivery cruisers
32. Research ships
33. Hologram-producing screens
Many of the characters in this project appear in future episodes.
Using storytelling to place you in a time period, this series takes you, year by year, into the future. If you like emerging tech, eco-tech, futurism, perma-culture, apocalyptic survival scenarios, and disruptive science, sit back and enjoy short stories that showcase my research into how the future may play out.
This is Episode 56 of the podcast "In 20xx Scifi and Futurism." The companion site is https://in20xx.com where you can find a timeline of the future, descriptions of future development, and printed fiction.
These are works of fiction. Characters and groups are made-up and influenced by current events but not reporting facts about people or groups in the real world.

How to Incorporate Eco-Tech into Your Daily Life for a Greener Tomorrow
Introduction
With increasing concerns about climate change and the environment, many people strive to make their lives greener. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is to include eco-tech in everyday life. Eco-tech, or environmentally friendly technologies, implies advanced solutions that help save resources, promote the least waste possible, and derive a way to live sustainably.
How you can easily integrate eco-tech into your life for a greener tomorrow is what we shall try to understand through this comprehensive guide and a lot more. Read to continue

Anti-technology people who insist they're not ableist crack me up. What about people who rely on machines to breathe, eat, keep their heart functioning, or otherwise stay alive? "Well not that technology, obviously!" Ok what about AAC users, people who use hearing aids, or otherwise use technology to interact with the world in ways they otherwise couldn't? "Not that technology, obviously." Okay, my mobile phone is my memory, my sense of time, my sense of direction when I get lost, my ability to contact someone when I need help. It is my personal freedom because without it I would need full time care and supervision. But yes, that technology, right?
I hate how technology is made and utilised under capitalism as much as the next guy, but to pretend that technology doesn't greatly improve the lives of countless people, or even allow them to continue being alive, is to be willfully ignorant to the existence of disabled people. A world without technology is a world where a lot of disabled people don't get to survive. Capitalism is the problem, not the technology. Technology can (and should) exist just fine without capitalism.

Earthday is fight day
If your "green" project relies on the same practices of land theft, resource extraction, and labor abuse that brought us to this point - then the grifters supporting it are just another variety of climate change deniers.
Squat the trees while we still got trees. Defend what you love.

In the Future by In 20xx Futurism
A new kind of power generator runs on food waste. It sucks oxygen out of the air and has no exhaust. Its outputs are electric or motor power and pure water.
This is a work of speculative fiction as featured in the dystopian, ultimate survival series podcast In20xx Sci Fi and Futurism.
