Coronavirus has deadly disrupted the world, and, at the same time, pushed the development of technologies, as well as the understanding of self sufficiency. On the left of the mood board, cold and empty streets, as presented in Bladerunner 2049 and Ghost in the Shell, may become the reality in 2021, when people fear of physical contacts. At the same time, physical barriers are replaced by more immersive consumer gadgets, to foster a more intimate connection between people. Food companies may finally focus on producing merchants to plant vegetables or other types food at home. Perhaps, in 2021, the lifestyle of ultimate self sufficiency and the fundamentals of society will finally be realised in just our apartment. Will 2021 be the year when we all finally live in the utopia?
