I heard we already live in one

There's this movie called Reminiscence that takes place after the ice caps have melted. The world-building is phenomenal as everything is just slightly flooded and all the streets have basically become canals. But the story they decided to tell in this world was so boring I can't remember any of the details. I just remember loving watching Hugh Jackman's character move about the city.

You can watch it on Tubi and Max.

Also, to re-iterate a previous rant, I think Elysium is a great cyberpunk movie which uses the current cultural fears of climate change, wealth gap, and access to healthcare as the backdrop for the story.

It is interesting though how in the 80s we thought the world would be covered in clouds/pollution/smog and we'd never see the sun. Yet it's more likely we'll make the world so hot and dry that it'll become more of a desert wasteland than a dark and gloomy rain-filled world.

It looks like the reality all around you right now.

Corporations aren't taking over any more

I beg to differ! Both people and governments are more reliant than ever on a handful of tech companies. Most of them aren't your classic cyberpunk megacorp (though we do have some like Samsung which fit the bill) but the likes of Google, Apple, and Amazon have an incredible amount of influence and power over their users, as well as the capital to buy out any industry they want to take over.

Look out the window.

Most fucked up shit that crosst my world will be the water wars. Pure horrer is just around the corner, yey!
