Thank you very much for the review
I feel like we have a lot of the same writing ticks/braincell so im glad you enjoyed. Like the majority of entries, apparently, I went for a 'no amount of technology cant cure stupid' approach, though maybe a bit of personal cynicism got through
still, I do think that, as a whole, society is evolving, not despite, but because of our shortcomings. A 'harmonic' world sounds like a REALLY tall order for me, but hey, if you told someone in 1524 how the world is like now, they'd probably think you're crazy.
Now that you mention it, though, and I think Stew has mentioned this before, many harmonic entries (I cant say 'all' but i can at least safely say literally all of the ones I've read so far) have a certain level of dreariness, too. I won't say dystopia outright, but it's almost like we as contestants can't actually fathom a perfect, squeaky clean society with no conflict. It's honestly kind of depressing if you think about it. I really wonder how art will reflect this period in the future... but that's enough rambling from me, sorry :P tl;dr really appreciate your commentary and critique, and I wish you good luck as well!
