I've had a (not so) weird dream yesterday, I need to share it here.
Undoubtably it was primed, just before going to bed, by seeing the 17th episode of the 3rd season of Person of Interest, where Fnznevgna vf nobhg gb or npgvingrq (no spoiler, please).
I basically dreamed that China had won the AI race, and at the beginning I dreamt in a bird's-eye view, just like the Machine has, of Chinese ideograms overriding the programming of Russian's and American's satellites, granting them access to the global nuclear arsenal, thereby imposing a sort of Chinese 'pax romana' to the world.
The second move was imposing a sort of cultural unification to other countries, instituting rieducation camps where people were forced rather subtly but also brutally to accept a Chinese culture made of self-sacrifice and devotion to the Mother Country.
The dream revolved around me and some of my friends shipped to one of these camps, and the impact it had on us. I was preaching "submit and cooperate", while one of my friend was rebelling right away (he was dealt with accordingly).
The alarm clock woke me before I could dream further developement...
Write that novel, please.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
