Saw the above article and seeing the ‘coffin’ living quarters, I can’t help it to think that the living space in 40k forgeworld or equivalent is similar. I also wonder if that correlate to the shorter heights of the population there.

I see it as a cross between soylent green and the hunger games as our most likely future now. We may not literally eat processed corpses but I see them being used as fertilizer and such.

The hunger games is kind of close to some imperial worlds so in a way maybe we are.

Ha ha in before the lock!!!!

Hong Kong is huge city on a small mountainous island with not a lot of places to build homes for its large population. I think the take away here is to not build cities on small rocky islands not that humanity is heading towards a dystopian future.

Not that we aren't but this isn't necessarily related to that.


Edit: Hong Kong is not totally on an island. I misremembered it. Still, its on a land with not a lot of place to expand to.

There is a LOT of space to inhabit in most of the world, 99% of it is just inland. People just keep on stacking on top of each other in coastal areas, which is no sweat off my back.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. Big chunks of western America is pretty empty, and let's not forget that Canada is mostly forest work no one in it. ....there's plenty of space or they're still. I would more about resources running out than space for people

According to this most of the world already is 40k....(For the benefit of the humor impaired, this is a fething JOKE. Go look the concept up on the net.)

We are heading toward a dystopian future not dissimilar to an impressive collection of fiction on the matter of which 40k is a derivative work.

As an American, I firmly believe it is my god given right to own a big shoota, and the only preventing me from having a power klaw is the lack of technology (for now). I mean, it's the right to bear ARMS, FFS.
