Some of these have come true, although not the way they are portrayed, of course.

The moving pavement is now in every airport, engineered almost exactly as illustrated. Also, the infrared (x-ray) police surveillance exists now as heat sensitive cameras looking for warm bodies and marijjuana grow lights from helicopters. The outdoor projections look like our 21st century LED video billboards.Wow! Very prescient.

Very cool stuff. I loved the quality of the artworks beyond anything else.
