Robochompocalypse

'I plan to invest in anti-carnivorous robot security' by Warren Ellis:

"The future is a moving target. It’s not predictable like the weather – and even weather forecasting misses the odd devastating hurricane. Science fiction’s never going to tell you what you’ll be doing next year. What it really does is use speculation to examine the present-day condition – but it can, however, warn you about possible futures."

And earlier in the column is a funny bit about the Wachowskis and their failure in warning people of the coming Robochompocalypse.
