How Dystopian Are We Going?

[Blue]

I read the edit. It all makes sense, except that I was under the impression we were doing a dystopic sort of world here. At least in comparison to our own. Then again, it seems most people would rather than a world operating under a more modern sort of view. I can work with either one. At the moment, I'd just like some clarification on what it is we're working with. I operate under the old G.I.Joe adage: Knowledge is power.

Also, if a Sephiroth style big bad guy were to show, that'd be pretty epic.
