It was as if JV could see into the future or sense various future scenarios.

24 years after JV wrote that book, Gustave_Eiffel is able to start construction of a 300m tower.

It was as if JV was writing about glass and steel towers such as these.

However, they end up being constructed in the early 21st century, not in the 20th.

"Alphaville combines the genres of dystopian science fiction and film noir. There are no special props or futuristic sets; instead, the film was shot in real locations in Paris, the night-time streets of the capital becoming the streets of Alphaville, while modernist glass and concrete buildings (that in 1965 were new and strange architectural designs) represent the city's interiors. The film is set in the future but the characters also refer to twentieth-century events; for example, the hero describes himself as a Guadalcanal veteran." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphaville_(film)

Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville" https://www.u2.com/lyrics/92

Jules_Verne wrote about a time when there would be 300m+ towers in Paris and Gustave_Eiffel was the one to start the first of those magnificent towers.

No Man's Sky's very own Rapture is too big to visit

"The tricks used to create this base means visitors only see a fraction of its sprawl."

The creators of NMS knew that they would need to have the biggest game environment possible.  

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/10/no-mans-sky-release-would-you-play-a-game-that-takes-584-billion-years-to-explore.html

It's the game that keeps growing into a vast scale and vision.

"There's a robot that lives inside No Man's Sky that nobody outside of the development team may ever see, because its entire purpose is to fly to each of the game's 18 quintillion worlds, take short videos and document its interstellar travels as a series of animated GIFs.

Developer Hello Games built this probe because, at its core, No Man's Sky is so massive that its statistically insignificant team of four human artists can't control or oversee its creation. At best, they can audit some of what already happened and adjust accordingly.

So, instead of pure human oversight, No Man's Sky is governed by what art director Grant Duncan calls a team of thousands of "mindless idiots" — the computer code and algorithms that take the structure that he and his team created and turned that into a universe."

So many times what was once just in a Sci-Fi context eventually becomes reality.

Leonardo_da_Vinci was certainly one of the worlds great visionaries.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a Glitchy Buggy Mess...

The general consensuses is that its over hyped and should have been a much better build or design.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/19/style/cyberpunk-2077-video-game-disaster.html

A game that's already in need of a reboot, or as some say, it would have to be totally rebuilt. Bit by bit with a much better arrangement of electrons and photons.
