One of my favorite things in scifi is when later movies/shows have to try to write around old design chocies. (startrek.website)

Sometimes I'm in the mood for one and sometimes the other. The Expanse comes to mind for a modern "hard" scifi that talks about the tech a lot.

One of the best details in the first episode is that a protagonist's phone is cracked to hell. Magical future tech, transparent screen, lightfield camera, voice AI that works... and he still dropped the damn thing and can't afford to replace it.
