The best dystopias are like that - an extension of the worst parts of our society today. That's why cyberpunk was wildly popular in the 80s - computer revolution plus Cold War fears. Farenheit 451 lacks the transhumanist element that defines cyberpunk as a subset of dystopia, but an excellent novel anyway.
And now I want to like...write fic exploring the dystopic and cyberpunk elements of Midgar and the Turks.
