* \\\'\\\'AMindForeverVoyaging\\\'\\\', while having a complex and very interesting premise, ends up being a game-length TakeThat to Reaganite policies. Double failure, in that \\\'\\\'none\\\'\\\' of the economical policies promoted by the in-game strawman party have anything to do with Reagan and/or conservative economics, \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' that those policies turn the world in a StrawDystopia for no other reason than \\\"because\\\".
** Except that the economic policies actually *do* have a lot to do with Reaganite policies -- if you catch the key fact that both Reagan and the strawman party were consistently *lying* about their economic policies, i.e. not implementing what they advertised. And there\\\'s some pretty clear indications that the general governmental lying is part of what creates the exaggerated StrawDystopia. So this one doesn\\\'t belong here at all, as it\\\'s only tangentially about economics. The idea that a computer could actually predict the future at this level of accuracy, however, is some other sort of YouFailScienceForever.
