2023 movie #85. 1995. Set in Dec. 1999, with no mention of Y2K. Instead the big tech threat is a device that allows you to record your memories and share with others. Highly illegal. Mixed into the mix is an LA in what seems to be a permanent riot. Pretty decent movie. (

What stays from the movie are not the transient plot problems, however, but the overall impact. This is the first movie about virtual reality to deal in a challenging way with the implications of the technology.
