Released 50 years ago, “Soylent Green” is an eerie prophecy : https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/02/02/released-50-yea...

  "Soylent Green"

Oh. I was sort of wondering why we were talking about Soylent Green on HN. I worried some VC had re-written a modern version of "A Modest Proposal."

A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland,

from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

by Dr. Jonathan Swift 1729
