"Hi. I'm Charlie Stross, and I tell lies for money. That is, I'm a #sciencefiction writer. (...) I—and other SF authors—are terrible guides to the future. Which wouldn't matter, except a whole bunch of #billionaires are in the headlines right now because they pay too much attention to people like me. Because we invented the #TormentNexus as a cautionary tale and they took it at face value and decided to implement it for real."
