1984, we are almost there. In the long run a terminator scenario doesn't seem too unlikely either

Sky Captain would be awesome though: all that retro chic, robots with tentacles, Angelina Jolie with an eye patch and a hovering airstrip near a secret island with an underwater passageway to an island mecca of lost creatures? That's way more interesting than me in front of this Win7 box at the office, slowly watching my soul decay...

Dagnabbit, I skimmed the options too quickly and voted "Bladerunner" because I didn't see the "1984" option. Obviously, it's 1984 and yes, we are very nearly there as a whole, and either currently are or have been there in parts (thinking N.Korea, the former E.Germany (which I had a chance to visit while it was still very much DDR)).

Bladerunner would be a pretty awesome dystopia too, except for the homicidal replicants. Los Angeles could use a facelift anyway.
