Sometimes I think I was born into the wrong time. Don’t get it twisted: being there for the birth of the internet, social media, AI, virtual reality, and all kinds of other tech breakthroughs has been cool. But as a child of the ’80s, I was really hoping to experience robot butlers, friendly alien races, flying cars, anti-aging, instant gourmet meals, and augmented humans. Basically, I was hoping to live through The Jetsons with a dash of Star Trek .
While I think some of those things might start emerging (and are beginning to) in my lifetime, a combination of life-enhancing technology and a utopian society still seems pretty far away. Luckily, we have the bottomless resources of Disney and Marvel to tell stories in worlds that spark our imaginations and give us glimpses into futures
