But the original point was - "That's God, our all powerful creator.
What the hell, let's kill him anyway." You've lost the whole social
comment!

I like the ending, just like real life.
Anyway here's the story so far: Crowded street, traffic jam (tip: all
good movies have traffic jams) a strange winged creature falls out of
the sky and land on the top of a taxi (tip: if you're going to focus
on one car make it a taxi, taxis pull crowds) and that's as far as I
got.

The check is in the post. Here's some other sci-fi themes ticking
over in my mind:
An uploaded universe ruled by a "Reality Council" who decides what's
real and what's not, young hopefuls struggle to make it up the
political ladder so that they can reap the benefits of being able to
pass "Reality Legislation."
A Sci-fi television series where there are no psychics and/or social
comments.
Aliens land and don't want to judge us because we're so barbaric.
The worlds first science fiction novel that actually covers social
changes beyond - "We no longer shake hands, we rub feet."
Androids that don't want to be human.
An upload who downloads into a human body and is overwhelmed by the
shear lack of substance in the real world.
