We are living in a version of the future out of J.G. Ballard or William Gibson

# Summary The author argues that contemporary life increasingly resembles the dystopian futures imagined by science fiction writers like J.G. Ballard and William Gibson, citing examples such as IV drip clinics in shopping malls, AI-generated musicians, robotic dogs, delivery robots, and humanoid robots performing at theme parks. Rather than flying cars, the actual future has brought unexpected digital innovations and strange technological integrations into everyday life that blur the line between normal and surreal.
