I am pleased to announce a very narrow science fiction sub-genre: Milkmen Dystopia. I was shooting for “Milkpunk” to be more in line with current subculture, but you don’t always get to pick these things. The terms “Impressionism” and “Cubism” were coined by journalists. That’s the way nicknames work, so I won’t fight it.
Milkman by Anna Burns (
Check out this review) doesn’t have anything to do with a world bereft of governments, but it is set in a tomorrow we may not altogether like.
What I do like is the growth-rate of Milkman-related speculative fiction. It doubled over night. That’s better than bitcoin.
