I don't think cell phones and DVDs or any of things would have come to pass they way they have today.

Also the books came out in the 1980's so I really like the nostalgia of the past. I like the 1980's view of the future 2000's which is much more analog than the 2000's really were.

I love cold war kit, the vehicles and weapons where more interesting. modern kit is "push button to win war".
