At the time, I did not see it as a realistic future.

And now, I very much do.

The logical result of all of this heavy-handed, modern-day capitalism is a future such as portrayed in the first Robocop movie. It's all run by the corporations.

DS9 had some good sci-fi when it wasn't being a lame soap opera.
