    Sounds basically like the plot of the first Dystopia in Marshall Brain’s manna

      I use this reference all the time because it’s literally and I do mean literally the state of a significant portion of retail workers

        Yup. Some people read dystopian fiction as an instruction manual.

          Much of what we call &quot;dystopian fiction&quot; is actually just palette-swapped contemporary or historical fiction. People are appalled at the idea of {horrible thing} happening to them, not simply {horrible thing} happening in general.
