I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.

Maybe my favorite is the 'mini VHS recorders' from Neuromancer.

I wanted a Dick Tracy watch so badly. Tech just decided to skip all of that and put a screen on a watch. Boo.

What they really got wrong was the clothing: so much anime/hentai.

This is a techno-goth.

This is me, as long as you replace the Powerbook with a Thinkpad T420.

This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.

This guy looks straight out of the film Hackers.


Also, for real, mirrorshade sunglasses never went out of style.

That's a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.

30 years on, that guy still had all those gadgets dangling from his belt, but now he’s the crazy old guy who lives in the junkyard

Updated for the 21st century: a status quo enforcer with police and presidential loyalty ties that really likes neon and having sex with people that like neon while maintaining the status quo in a way that makes them a Legend of Night City(tm).

These days, all that dude now needs is a phone and probably a tablet. Maybe a laptop slung over his shoulder.
