    Not sure about Soylent Green, but we've been in 1984 for quite some time now....

    Blade runner was set in 2019

    I haven't seen a replicant yet, nor do we have wars in Space.

    SF are notorious for not putting their stories far enough ahead

    OTOH I remember an old sf magazine editorial where they postulated what would happen if one of our drones were to time warp back to 1935 and the conclusion was that they would think it came from 2935.

    We're lousy prognosticators

    I loved the part with the "Scoops". They knew how to handle rioters.

    It's always interesting when we reach future dates in past literature and film especially when the predictions are pessimistic. 1936 was the year of "It Can't Happen Here" written by Sinclair Lewis in 1935.
