Britain in 2010 – as predicted in 1990- Amazing article published today

In 1990, the century was getting ready to end and London too – its defeated human population draining away, its traffic choked, its decrepit buildings augmented by cardboard cities lodging indigent teenagers – seemed to be on its last legs. Looking 20 years ahead, the Observer imagined a dystopia like that in Fritz Lang's Metropolis and Ridley Scott'sBlade Runner: either a dualistic city with the rich en skied in inaccessible towers and the poor penned underground, or a third world swamp teeming with people anxious for expatriation to another planet.

that are at once radical and functional, while he transformed
common industrial materials into shimmering apparitions.
