The only reason why science fiction isn't horrifying is because in fiction, everything inconvenient can be brushed aside.
No matter how fantastical and exciting a sci-fi concept sounds, as soon as it's implemented in real life it begins to suck in ways we hadn't predicted (or had predicted but disregarded).
So don't be too sad. The world isn't sci-fi enough to be a complete nightmare yet.

>Implying 500 years later is a good time to be a mecha pilot
>Implying that 500 years later won't be a depressing hellhole where oily, sooty, semi-humanoid cyborgs scramble for assassination jobs for 5 cents per head from their low-street slum-pubs paved with the grimy bones of the beggars and the mushy flesh of the murdered, all under the putrid, dripping, sewage-coated shadows leaking from the overcity where the mindless and the rich reside looking out at a grey sky punctuated with supercharged lightning striking with increasing ferocity at the occasionally solar pillar on the antimatter-blasted wastes reaching out above a yellow sky polluted by the cities below and the slowly-dispersing toxic aerosols that are now standing in for the ozone layer that they have stripped the Earth like clothes from a catgirl in a Blade doujin

It is kinda depressing, but it's not so bad when I remember that I helped /pol/ summon an Egyptian god of chaos to elect a time traveling reality TV star in order to save western civilization by shitposting with frogs and getting dubs.
Only in 2016.
