A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules

They're talking about the visions of sci-fi authors, filmmakers, and artists. The tech Bros are the ones being drawn towards those artists' visions.

Look what has been done with 1984 and A Brave New World.
It aint the same vision.
They smashed the Rose-colored glasees in favor of orher lenses, one tinted the color of money. The other a swirl of gluttony, power, and dopamine.
