Flying cars

I want the flying cars, damnit! I want the 20 hour work weeks. I want giant wheel shaped space stations! I want a Gernsbackian future! Is that asking too much? Especially in the light of barely drivable cars, 80 hour work weeks (“and you'll like it too, god damn you!”), small soda-can shaped space station (note! singular!) and a Gibsonian future looming over all of us.

Well, I guess flying cars [2] do currently exist (and the M400 [3] is sweet! I want one). So I guess all that's left are the 20 hour work weeks and the giant wheel shaped space stations.
