One possible dystopian future for Israel

A brief letter from the future to the United States outlines a possible future of the USA. Israel is mentioned there as another country, which might share similar future.

I am deaf since birth. I played with big computers which eat punched cards and spew out printouts since age 12. Ever since they became available, I work and play with desktop size computers which eat keyboard keypresses and spew out display pixels. Among other things, I developed software which helped the deaf in Israel use the telephone network, by means of home computers equipped with modems. Several years later, I developed Hebrew localizations for some cellular phones, which helped the deaf in Israel utilize the cellular phone networks. I am interested in entrepreneurship, Science Fiction and making the world more accessible to people with disabilities.

One thought on “One possible dystopian future for Israel”

  1. I'm not sure this scenario is as far fetched as we'd like to think . Given a choice between a democracy where they're a relatively unheard minority and a dictatorship where they're in absolute control, I suspect that many fundamentalist Christians would choose that latter. Who cares about an irrelevant “secular humanist” institution like democracy when God's righteous kingdom is at stake?
