What if they dumped loads of self-assembling nano-chips into out drinking water?
What if they didn't? This is just baseless speculation, 'what if's', and stuff that people have said which has then been - I assume intentionally - misconstrued.
You need evidence, really.
we seem to be living in a dystopian sci-fi scenario
Yeah, but that's more because of climate change. And those Boston Dynamics robots. Particularly the yellow dog thing.
Don't worry your little head over it. Our danger isn't the fact that we are going to die. Our danger is one of following God or following Satan. The choice determines your position for eternity... Heaven or Hell.
Besides, nano-chips need a little more salt on them if they are going to be as tasty as potato chips.

Don't want to turn it into a God-memes thread, but you do have a point. I'm always reminded of this quote:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
... and anyone who
wants to be worshipped really shouldn't be.
People can build cars. Pretty easy, right? But try it all by yourself sometime, with all the fancy stuff they put on cars today. They can do it; You alone can't do it.
The thing they can't do is make a human from scratch. Needless to say, you can't either.
God made people by the billions, and gave us free will. You don't go out and spend your life savings on a $100,000 Cadillac, and then toss the keys to your 10-y-o and say, "Have at it, Kid" But God wanted you to have your $multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-quintillion body. He has it all covered, even when you wreck it... Heaven or Hell.
Dawkins was stupid. You are greedy and selfish.
