RE: Steemit Predicted in Science-Fiction?

I've heard of Snow Crash, but have yet to read it. Its a teotwawki if I recall.
Decentralized blockchains are most likely to remain past human extinction.
If you carve some information into granite it may last a couple thousand years, but if you want info to last forever post it to a blockchain.

Teotwawki

I hadn't heard that term before. The world in the book is definitely not the world we know today. America is divided into corporation-states, military and police forces are completely privatized, and there are armed conflicts fighting over control of highways. There's a university dedicated to the pizza delivery industry, which is controlled by the mafia. The book does a great job at world-building.
