My feelings are conflicted. I love living in the future but I see that this version of the future ill-fits some people. As, I suppose, did all futures. After all, "Future Shock" was written decades ago.
I tend to think this sort of discomfort is a source of the "nostalgia reigned" sentiment. If I am uncomfortable in a situation or environment it's much easier to find fault with that situation or environment than it is to examine how I am (not) fitting into it.
That's a great story
