That's the formula I once heard for coming up with an idea for a story. What if?...Then what?...So what?
I forget who said it.
So here is one idea I had for a sci fi type story
What if? In some future orwellian society people had chips implanted in their brain to 'override' reason so they would believe the faulty logic being fed to them by a ruling elite
Then what? Somebody's chip fails
So what? You have the proverbial sane person in an insane world
Not completely original in that this theme has been explored a lot. But since most good science fiction is actually about the present situation; I think this would be a good vehicle to explore the utter bullshit we are sometimes fed by politicians.
(PS, it's also possible that this precise story line has already been explored. I don't pretend to know everything -- unless I'm at a party).
