"would you commit one innocent child to a life of misery in exchange for utopia for the rest of us? Of course, in reality this is a choice we all gladly make every day in exchange for 24 hour shipping. Click buy now and some povo warehouse worker has to piss in a bottle. Do we care? Turns out not so much. Sorry can we pause a minute? The delivery guy is at the door."
JFC. This really made me stop and think. I wish I could see that paragraph on every billboard around the world. (Provided it could be done in an environmentally friendly way, of course).
It's definitely funny as well as a bit bleak. You've pitched it perfectly with 'at the door' - we all try our best but none of us are infallible. It's an incredibly powerful image and message.
Well. I adored reading this. This is also my favourite sci-fi genre BUT I gave up on FAM midway through season 2 (despite loving the first). Worth persevering then?

It was meant to be funny but I see now how appallingly bleak it is 🙃

Get well soon, Willow!

Thank you! I adored writing it. S3 does get somewhat ridiculous but I'm glad I stuck it out. Nearly rolled my eyes out my head a few times tho!
