Events Proceeding the Helvenican Renaissance

In the short story "Events Proceeding the Helvenican Renaissance", we see (what I am assuming is) Earth in a new light. As readers, we get a glimps of the world many years from now. The Earth has developed many new technologies and extrapolations, it is a strange concept to us to see what our Earth is bound to become. The story connects with science fiction because it demonstrates people's constant obsession of "what if". Just like many other science fiction stories, the "Events Proceeding the Helvenican Renaissance" brings up an idea from an author, developes that idea with something familiar to the reader, and makes the story come alive by backing it up with science. In the concept of extrapolation, human beings imagine things in the world that could be in order to make life more easy for us. In the story, we see that people carry their passports in their skin, gods speaking to each person indevidualy, and people traveling in and out of the planet. It is all so strange to us now, but the science of the story backs it up. I personally did not enjoy this piecee as much as I thought simply because I do not want to live to see the day the world becomes like that. The story reminds me of the book "The Hunger Games". It is as if people become less indevidual and more seen as a race. To me, the "Events Proceeding the Helvenican Renaissance" sounded like people were seen as victims, as if being trained to become soldiers.
