>>149491663 (OP)I guess the geist of the 80s and 90s came and went, I'm not being sarcastic. The vibe during those eras, and even a little before them, was equal parts curiosity and fear where technology would go, hence all the neuromancer, Robocop, Terminator stuff.
But now people just aren't that interested despite the push for automation, drones, surveillance and AI becoming more relevant than before.
