I remember a newspaper photograph from 2011. It was of a street in the North African city of Tripoli, during the Libyan civil war. The whole street was flooded from a burst water-main and there were several, bullet-riddled cars half submerged in the water. All of the building in the street were wrecked and a couple had huge holes punched through them. I remember the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as it occurred to me that the photo showed what the near future will probably look like!
