   Welcome to 2019, the year in which Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi film   
   masterpiece Blade Runner is set. And as predicted in this loose   
   adaptation of a 1968 Philip K. Dick story, we have flying cars.   
      
   The reason you don't have a flying car was explained by author William   
   Gibson, who famously observed, more or less, "The future is already here   
   â€“ it's just not evenly distributed."

   Great article, with the perfect ending paragraph.
