I was talking to friends about the same idea, that somehow in the past few years the world was turning into the Sci-Fi (somewhat dystopian) of my youth. That night on Ars Technica, I saw two headlines:
&quot;Pope’s plane hit by a laser in Mexico City&quot; and &quot;Humans started having sex with Neanderthals over 100,000 years ago&quot; and I realized the world was turning into <i>BAD</i> Sci-Fi.
