Why hasn't humanity reached the cyberpunk future we were promised in the 80's/90's?

We do live in a cyberpunk Orwellian dystopian, though. It's just that everything is white and chrome instead of neon and dirty grey, and the theme music is all happy ukeleles and whistling instead of dark electronica.

Nigger and islam

But we are

Corporates failed to deliver.

I'm glad the world isn't like this

Because of irrational ethical arguments vomited out by the lowest common denominator that elects the government that writes the legistlation that regulates society.

It pretty much has.

All that mass supported by so few structures. Little realism pls.

What are you talking about?

Endless proxy wars
mobile computer phones with 1000 times the computing power of the Apollo 11 mission + realtime map with gps steering + highquality cameras that outperform any camera older than 10 years + wireless uplink to the internet.
Increased expensaion of police with military-grade gear and equipment due to terror
Mass human migration due to climate change
FUCKING VR GOGGLES!!!

We are living in the cyperpunk, we just haven't realised it yet

clearly some form of anti-gravity has been figured out you tard

Not necessary thinkable are new developments by material science that lead to better stabillity weight ratios than steel and concrete.

What holds us back as a species is a lack of better energy sources.

I shuddered

yes actually it seems to be, the artists rendition of floaty cars using exhaustless propultion and that same device being attached to the bottom of those floating buildings. use your eyes a little more

also

>lack of better energy source
>what the fuck is the sun

i guess lack of critical thinking is what is keeping us out of the cyberpunk era

>due to climate change

Because it's cheaper to just expand out in endless sprawling suburbs rather than turn cities into arcology-tier mega structures.

meme magic wasnt discovered yet

The 80's significantly underestimated the horsepower, bandwidth and coordinated logic involved to make that all reality. Don't forget Weird Science which foretold Internet several years before anyone mainstream did.

But we did, ever wonder why no media covers what happens in Best Korea? They've got all futuristic shit over there.
Our Great Leader is just not ready to share it with the rest of the world.

>what the fuck is the sun

muh solar panels is a bit less sexy than nuclear fusion
