This is the generation in power now, and no one else to blame if the world is unsatisfactory. Betrayal by technology is another theme of the visually stimulating film, as computer entity HAL, the servant of mankind, goes insane and removes the humans with deadly intent. HAL's example could even serve as a warning to the generation born in the early 50's that had Pluto in Leo and now finds it opposed by Uranus. Much has been written about the Pluto in Leo generation being overly preoccupied with their own pleasures. The Uranus opposition to the natal Pluto in the charts of these baby boomers, as well as transitting Pluto opposing Saturn, may put an abrupt end to that attitude as this group faces the decay of old ways which are no longer viable and must be abandoned.
Oppositions always create a choice between two things.
One can't preserve the oil rich wilderness if one won't give up the convenience of one's car. One cannot rely wholeheartedly on technological advances without the risk of being at their mercy, as more and more sensitive and potentially dangerous personal information becomes accessible on the internet. With transiting Uranus and Neptune both in trine to this generation's Libra formations they can expect to continue to see the technological advances they visualized become reality, yet find themselves faced with some hard choices about the ecology and the wise use of computer magic. Perhaps this is best depicted, in the US at least, by the lessons of the recent election which students have avidly watched. Ideals are being seeded in these youngsters that will bear fruits when Pluto transits Capricorn.
