I was hoping that the future would be like Star Trek, a beautiful high tech paradise where we worked our problems out and live in a post-scarcity world. Instead we’re getting Deus Ex, minus the shades and trench coats.

Remember that the star trek era was preceded by a nuclear ww3, and the eugenics wars. We still seem to be on track.
How did we fix the climate crisis and the plastic crisis in Star Trek?
I bet it’s tech developed by environmental conservation labs in the not-defunct Soviet Union.

climate crisis
Nuclear winter in the wake of the Eugenics Wars. Cooled us right down. Even in Star Trek, our immediate future is… bleak.

If it’s any consolation, you can still get shades and trench coats, they look pretty cool.
