A project that goes wrong in a different way

I run software projects in Debrecen and every single project goes wrong in a way I did not fully predict, which I want you to understand is not a reflection on my competence but on the nature of complex systems. This is also what I write about. Near-future science fiction is the right genre for what I want to do because it lets me take a contemporary system and extrapolate its failure mode without allegorising. I don't write about technology being evil. I write about technology being exactly as functional as it's designed to be, in a context that its designers did not imagine. My current story involves a municipal resource allocation algorithm in a mid-sized Hungarian city in 2035 that is doing precisely what it was built to do, and the ways in which this is catastrophic. I live in Debrecen, which is the second largest city in Hungary and which nobody writes about in fiction, and I've been quietly including real locations in my work as a form of mild protest against this. The Nagyerdei Boulevard. The medical university quarter. The specific quality of August in the Great Plain that is different from Budapest and different from everywhere else. I want my fiction to be set somewhere real. Imaginary futures need real ground.
