    The picture of a dystopian future where feudal oligarchs are shooting down each others low orbit internet satellites in the furious competition for best coverage popped into my head.

    Who are we casting as the satellite retrieval specialist with a penchant for bonsai trees living in an off grid log cabin?

      Not familiar with the current crop of actors, but Honestly I’d love william shatner and nicolas cage be in this one. Cage getting to go full tilt as the CEO who’s put offensive lasers on his satilites marketing them as an anti kessler syndrome measure but really jsut wanting to fry competitors.

      Shatner even has the bonus of having a REALLY nice ranch they could use for location shots of shatner’s home as he’s talked into helping train the group of loonies that are going up there.

      Heh, that’s a good future.

      The one we’re speeding towards is where they all collude, and all the service is shitty and the same (or worse) as its ever been. If its not just monopolized. That’s why Night City is a relatively good place to live in CP2077: There’s still competition.
