re: #25 William Lewis

I like that version too. But I think it’s apples and oranges.

Because, I’m not sure we’re far enough away from the days from Cyberpunk to do that yet. 50’s sf? easy-peasy to rewrite with modern or even short jump into the future tech ala black mirror. But when the book from 40 years ago was supposed to be 20 years from now and misses most of the minimums?

Be nice if we at least had the orbitals, alas…

I see what you mean, but I still think it can be done. Part of the key is going to be not going too overboard on futurism, because 20 years isn’t that far away, and while I’m sure there’ll be another minor tech revolution before then, they should probably avoid the flash-in-a-pan tech fads like crypto or AI. That’s not going to age well.
