For the sake of the question, let's just assume that no apocalyptic event happens that wipes out the human race.

Battlestar Galactica. Cyclons will rule and humanity will be forced to run.

Higher global temperature and more drastic weather. Better medicine and medical equipment but with higher costs. Decreasing global population, but more homeless people due to ai software and physical bots. The continually profitting billionaires will control more of the media to influence those below them, ie to have them fight among themselves rather than them. Probably more in "goverments" for more control. Continuing wars just different countries for profit.

This won't be that big of a difference within that timespan, but the trend will continue as more time passes.

I try to be an optimist, but unless the underclass revolts, it's hard to see otherwise.

There will be a lunar spacestation, according to NASA, which I'll be looking forward to seeing, at least.

You can imagine different dystopian scenarios:

  • Elon builds a colony on mars. Once one million people get there, it starves to death by technical accidents and is left to its fate.
  • Chinese hyper empire emerges, from Tibetan Plateu and conquers a weakened Russia. Trump is okay with it, since he is focused on "domestic issues" like removing gay rights. Later China buys Trumps advisors.
  • Trump conquest of Greenland, Canada and the arctic create a new American Hyper-Empire that expands into the weakened Russian heartland and Europe.

Or to keep the status quo:

  • Europe conquers Russia, and shows Trump and Xi their place.
