Philip K. Dick had it right on
Optimists loved the science fiction future of Star Trek - but the imagined future which we are living our way into is the paranoic dystopia of Philip K. Dick - the America of the fifties/sixties, just more crowded, dirty, and depressing. If you have been reading PKD for the past few decades, then you have been prepared for what has been going on, particularly since 2001. In PKD's world we colonized Mars, but it was just a colder and drier version of Nevada.
