One dystopian future I haven't seen people mentioning in regard to this regime but that definitely fits the goals of the tech bros is Altered Carbon. Silicon Valley has been dumping tons of money into researching infinity tech that allows someone's consciousness to be transferred to computerized neural networks. The basically immortal, wealthy villains use their immortality to subjugate the rest of humanity.
OMG Wendy. You've scared the shit out of me. I'm terrified for you especially. Thanks for educating us. Love to all in this community of educated fighters. Resist!
I remember reading The Handmaid's Tale and Fahrenheit 451 and thinking it couldn't possibly happen. But here we are, no wiser. God, what mess. And there are still citizens out there who don't have a clue. I want to grab them by the throat and scream, "Look around you! We're dying here!" But that would bring me down to a level where I shouldn't be. Thanks for writing this, Wendy.
Wendy, this reality has shaken me because it is true. I have fallen asleep in exhaustion every night, wishing the Marshall’s would escort those SOBs out of there, before I wake up at an ungodly hour and can not fall back asleep again because those SOBs are still destroying our government/ democracy.
Thank you for the feedback, I was sure this was going to be one of those deals where when people read it, theyd realize. But for the younger crowd that has never read these books yet, I want to encourage them TO read them, so that they understand the education needed.

Heinlein’s “If This Goes On . . .” resonates today as well.
You should pick up The Sheep Look Up by John Brunner (and Stand on Zanzibar too)
Done

Agreed on This Perfect Day - "Uni-Comp" central computer and eugenics.
Don’t leave out “This Perfect Day” by Ira Levin. It fits into this dystopian narrative quite well too
thats brilliant, Linda, thank you.
