What is the media's obsession with cooling towers? Anything nuclear, cooling tower. Chemical company? Cooling tower.

They look dystopian

I think they look cool. They’re hyperbolic!

I do too FWIW, but big brutalist concrete constructions definitely give dystopian vibes imo.

Anything can be made to look dystopian with correct filters, angles and (for video format) ominous music
