Discussion Which screen vision of the future still feels closest to us?
Metropolis, Things to Come, 2001, Blade Runner and BBC’s Tomorrow’s World all imagined a future, but they didn’t imagine the same everyday people living in it. I made a short End Up Here essay comparing what those screen futures got right about technology with what they left out about ordinary life. It’s interpretation, not a prediction; the narration and illustrative scenes are AI-generated. It’s a small non-commercial project with no product, fundraiser or paid offer. Which screen vision still feels closest to life now—and what did it get wrong?
