I'm going to write a SF story about a world with no SF magazines. It'll be set in the year 2011, a black man will be president, and gas will become cheap enough to stymie alternative fuel research. An editor notices his key doesn't fit his office door lock anymore, and taped to the door are directions to a local soup kitchen. The entertainment of choice is a drug that induces a lifetime coma and a dream-like virtual reality in which people can choose to experience anything they want. One lonely nurse, who works in a ward that houses people in their comas, notices from her monitors that the most popular fantasy people choose to experience is to be a respected science fiction writer.
