Commuting the Law of Probable Dispersal, that that which hits the fan
will not be evenly distributed, with William Gibson's quote that "The
future is here, its just not evenly distributed" we find that the Future
has Hit the Fan

Prison Ships would exist, they just would be indistinguishable from
monastary ships. A type of post industrial dude ranch... for busy
hypersuccessful people to go to to "get away from it all". To feel that
sense of anxiety at bending over to pick up the soap.... ;)
