I wouldn't say "hoping for" but which cyberpunk dystopia do you think is most likely to happen (of any franchise)?

      That’s closest to the expected Idiocracy in cyberpunk aesthetic.

        Whoever thought that we’d look at idiocracy and think “well, it’s optimistic because they put the smart person in charge of real policy”

          I guarantee it wasn’t Mike Judge. He put Crocs in the movie because they were just coming out and thought they were so stupid, they’d never take off.

          Look where we are now.

      Oof. The Ministry of Information would like to interview you about your involvement in this “buttle” affair.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

  • Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
  • Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
  • Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
  • Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
  • Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
