To me, films like A Clockwork Orange and 2001 are retro-futurist, typical 60s/70s visions of what this time now would be like and, because they (obviously) aren’t accurate, are inevitably dated. They gave themselves a sell-by-date (unless you choose to see them as set in a parallel-universe rather than a literal date in the future; I do with 1983).
