Or cyberpunk. Or watched Blade Runner.

Sky holograms are pretty common in corpo dystopia fiction. And maybe future non fiction. Jesus

The problem with cyberpunk fiction is that some people have no media literacy and a lot of money and decide their company should do things from their favorite stories.

Lack of media literacy is becoming a huge problem for society. People either think fiction is reality or just literally don't understand satire, parody, and cautionary tales.
