    It sucks that we're getting all of the neo-fuedalism , but none of the giant robots. Science Fiction authors really fucked up their predictions for the 2020's.

      Early science fiction authors fucked up, then cyberpunk came along. If you go around asking "Where's my flying car!?" you will be disappointed. If you instead ask "Where's my environmental hellscape ruled by megacorporations with their own security forces, who beam advertisements straight into my brain!?" you will also be disappointed, but for the opposite reason.
