I feel about the same and recently had to think about Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan comic series which very much takes place in a future where history and precise dates as well as geographies seem to have been abolished or simply are irrelevant. It's not only the case with literal dates but also with style. It's getting harder to tell precisely how old 'relatively new' stuff is. 'Retro'-design seems to have kind of disappeared. There's now such a flood of information that there's no real well-ordered periods any more. Even the way platforms now present information, not chronologically in an absolute sense but ordered according to personal preference kind of breaks time by design.
