Ultra-tech , interstellar travels , superintelligent AI's, highpower laserweapons that will fry your sorry ass in microseconds .. etc.. And all of this in just a few years or a decade or two. Think 2001 - the spaceoddysey ( the flic with the murderous AI, HAL ) .. did we have such technology LAST YEAR ? Why can't they make an effort to be at least a little credible when determining the year of the story .. push it 500 -> 1500 years forward .. wouldn't that be much more credible ?
