Bladerunner's (2019) Los Angeles
Running Man's (2019) Los Angeles
Demolition Man's (2032) San Angeles
Looper's (2044) Kansas City
I've not seen Looper yet, on the to watch list! Of the others, though I probably wouldn't survive in any of them, Bladerunner is the one I'm most familiar with, and is probably my favourite, I'd love to see the Tyrell Corp building, the strange back alley shops, having an artifical pet, I probably wouldn't be able to afford an owl though, probably something like a bee. The dingey smog filled LA will probably not be the most healthy place to live.
Forward to 2080, no question. I've always wanted to jump through to the future, to see where all the things we were promised by SciFi end up!
Though, that's far enough out that I'd probably get a bit of future shock, I'd hope I'd manage to cope with that and see where things went, and what the view of the current time is, hoping that we've got past the fascism that seems to be creeping in and closer to fully automated luxury gay space communism.
To start, a few black olives with a sun dried tomato and a slice of proscuitto.
For mains, a perfectly cooked thick steak with a proper pepper sauce.
For dessert, a 5cm slice of vianetta.
Fresh roasted Peruvian coffee as espresso to finish.
Ergh, this would probably not be something my sanity would survive. But I'll give it a crack. Nothing really special selecting these, my favourite tracks over the last few decades or so that I think I could listen to again a few a day.
End Titles (Bladerunner) - Vangelis
No Alarms - Radiohead
Ddu-Duu Ddu-du - BlackPink
Beyond the Sea - the Finding Nemo version, Michael Buble I think?
In the hall of the mountain king - Grieg

Öngyilkos Vasárnap - Venetian Snares
Pizza aux Narines - Igorrr
Adagio (Op 85, Cello Concerto) - Edward Elgar runtime)
Sea Castle - Purity Ring
I would not be surprised, but also, what difference does it make? I have only the evidence of my senses with which to perceive things, to me it doesn't matter if my mind is a product of some fatty tissue or of some computational representation of some fatty tissue, I still observe the universe presented to that fatty tissue in the same way.
So I guess that's a big "meh" from me about that.
