Bumped.

Here’s at least one other thread, **Lumpy** : [The (SF) Futures Left Behind](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sf-futures-left-behind/708674/1)

Just rewatched _V for Vendetta_ (2005), about a near-future Fascist Britain. The original graphic novel, released in 1989 and drawn from a serialized comic strip which ran from 1982-85, was set in the 1990s; the latest year shown on any computer screen in the movie is 2020.
