The story operate on a principle of what I call "the present, refined." That is, if we can do it now, we can do it in 2043 better. For that reason, things like a space station, or a robot, or an artificial intelligence, or a domed city in the arctic - which all are in this sample - try to operate on current ideas, just refined. The obvious exception being the time communication equipment, which Martin gets into in more detail as well.
