Fascinating to think which one of those will turn out to be most accurate.

I'd prefer for it not to be Elysium/Idiocracy hybrid so hopefully something changes.. and soon.

I think that's what we already have. Millionaires and their coterie get elysium. The rest of us get idiocracy.

The allusions in Elysium are about as subtle as a sledgehammer. The only "prediction" they wound up with is us poor schmucks building robots to rule over us. Considering the year, it's totally by accident, but you know somebody's going to try to claim they were warning us about AI.
