Before I start forgetting the details completely, I seemed to have a long, but basically enjoyable, dream last night which went something like this.
I was a younger version of myself, returning at night to the house I grew up in (I think my parents were still alive) only to find that the suburban block it was on was the subject of some sort of military action. I ran away, but eventually decided to give myself in, finding that the new rulers (of uncertain origin) were putting local residents in trains for re-location elsewhere. I was worried about how this felt like the Holocaust, but the trains were quite OK.
We were then on a cruise ship, again quite OK standard, and being shipped to Germany.
The thing was, no one knew exactly who the aggressors were, in what appeared to be a global wide conflict of some type.
Scott Morrison appeared in one scene, and I asked him, in public, that when he was PM he must have had some idea where this threat may come from, so couldn't he tell us who the aggressors likely were? He said "nope", he had no idea at all, there was no warning of this conflict.
Sinclair Davidson (!) then featured amongst a group of others in front of which I declared I had worked it out: the orders for this were probably coming from the sentient global AI that the internet had become. I mean, people were just following orders given via emails on screens - the global AI could easily be producing those.
I did spend a bit of time asking what the best term for our new AI overlord was, as I thought some science fiction writer had come up with one, but I couldn't remember it. No one else could either.
The relocations, by the way, were more about balancing where the best places for humans to live for efficient use of resources - there was no evil intent about it as such.
And that's about it...
