They're talking about the visions of sci-fi authors, filmmakers, and artists. The tech Bros are the ones being drawn towards those artists' visions.
Reminds me of the "torment Nexus" meme
Look what has been done with 1984 and A Brave New World.
It aint the same vision.
They smashed the Rose-colored glasees in favor of orher lenses, one tinted the color of money. The other a swirl of gluttony, power, and dopamine.
