The Near Future

Ralph McQuarrie ::1 Robots Patrolling a Sci-Fi Metropolis: The sci-fi metropolis is now tightly controlled, with giant posters of a singular leader's face, stern and unyielding, covering the sides of the towering skyscrapers. Robots march in unison through the streets, enforcing curfews and ensuring that civilians follow the regimented order of society. Holograms declare, "Order Brings Peace" and "Work is Freedom." The city’s people, dressed uniformly, move in perfect formation, under constant surveillance by patrol drones and the watchful eyes of authority figures. ::1 --v 6.1
