I will write it one day. Right now other more fully-formed creative projects are taking precedence.

I do know that when I write it it'll be a different take, because it'll be my voice and perspective and a synthesis of the media that makes me, me.

But as they say, writing is hard. :)

My parent comment deals more with the idea that some fantastical sci-fi ideas or inventions become less fantastical the longer you sit on them. The idea for a touch-based slate computer in TNG was pretty cool! Now everyone has a tablet, and that took only about 20 years.

I don't believe other literary genres have this unique problem. If I came up with a Game of Thrones-esque fantasy story, I wouldn't need to worry about the worldbuilding becoming "outdated." (Maybe in esoteric cases like dinosaurs not having feathers before we discovered that they do, etc.)
