"Now that the rugby is over I can return to dystopian futures.  "
I think we saw that with the England rugby team
Give it another 50 years though and I'm sure we're going to start to see a lot of the innovations from BR coming into society.
The cars , transport, tech and mega cities |

I think we're already seeing them.
Megacities exist and more are being built.
Robots, ever more human and responsive, being created and used for anything from sex to social care.
Drones and automated parcel deliveries.
The constant rain is easily substituted with the heating, droughts, fires and floods.

Yep, mega cities are on the way, full of people speaking different languages, desperate for some human emotion and contact as they spend more time with computers and robots.
Getting everyone who needs to work in the city, living in the city saves a lot of energy, and if they have to get us all living in coffins to make it happen then they will. |

"I already live in a coffin.
Buried ?
No, ground floor.. hardly a mega city though.
What sort of coffin?"
A small flat is what it is, not much bigger than than the rooms your average person in Bladerunner/5th Element or Dredd lives in.
The space doesnt bother me, but having no garden does  |

I do worry that the 'solutions' to our housing crisis isn't bringing empty homes back into use but to build micro 'homes'.
I hope you have a park nearby.
