1960s cybernetics inspires fascinating fiction like Neuromancer and Snowcrash.

Sci-fi films of the 70s and 80s recreate these stories as pastiche and trope.

Now people who grew up on those movies exclaim that life is imitating art.

We watch too many movies.

Life isn't a movie.

Because they were published in 1984 and 1992 respectively

		I'm just saying we're movie-brained. There's no direct lineage.

Sci-fi films from the 70s and 80s were not recreating stories from the 80s and 90s.
