Why does so much of the news these days sound like the introductory chapter to a 1990s soft sci-fi novel?

Yesterday I read about Papua New Guinea establishing a cryptocurrency zone that’s exempt from local laws and can issue its own passports. Today it’s a coworking space founder who acts like a cult leader, has his own festival and wants to build entire towns owned by his company (and is funded by a shadowy Japanese conglomerate — pure William Gibson!).

Cory Doctorow once said that good sci-fi doesn't predict the future so much as it anticipates the present.
