I only saw Amsterdam from the airport which is probably not much of it
at all.
I tend to have screenplays in my mind which actually might start out as
more manageable short stories. One idea is stories set in the
"solution" future I have where the economy has been brought into
balance, the government is transcendental socialist which it's not in
your face there to serve the people and there is free enterprise for the
folks who want to run their own small business. It's a very clean and
lean society with plenty of leisure time. The stories themselves might
be more comedy of errors that just use that future as a setting. But
it's a good way to demonstrate how cool that future could be rather than
just talking in theory.
To try out my new "free" Bluray player on a disc I watched "Edge of
Tomorrow" which I enjoyed because of the humor in it. Features Tom
Cruise and Emily Blunt. It also had a fairly plausible idea about where
the aliens came from.

We got to see what L.A. had evolved (or devolved) into in "Blade
Runner." But if you know Amsterdam at all, can you imagine what *it*
will be like in the future? I can. :-)

If you were writing science fiction what would you be writing these days?
