Several european countries will be governed by fascist parties, fueled by social media.

I imagine it will continue to look much the same as it has for millions of years plus or minus a bit of green, and possibly ever so slightly either more or less smoggy than it currently is. Oh, you mean like people and stuff? I'd wager there's probably going to be some. They'll probably still be consuming media and conversing in whatever the currently popular format is. There will be work getting done and work that no longer needs doing, career fields emerging and ending. Kinda pretty much the way it's always been, I bet, you know with the way everything's always changing and yet remains the same.
