  I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today’s world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.

    Today’s world is a toe dipped in the lake of cyberpunk critique.

    Transhumanism is, for the most part, still a crackpot fringe theory. Most of us aren’t brainchipped, and there are still recognizable human interactions on the web.

  For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:

  High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.

  Dystopian future:
  The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.

  Impact of technology on humanity:
  Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .

  Antiheroes and rebellion:
  Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.

    For high tech-low life, there are some homeless out there with cellphones and laptops, charging them with solar powered chargers.

      I forgot what this conversation is about and I don’t feel like backtracking. All I know now is that end-stage ligma is a mouth-less person who’s craving ice cream.

    I can’t speak for everybody, but I remember when the first continents were formed from geothermal vaults at the bottom of the ocean.

    Or maybe that was just a mushroom trip. Either way, the dystopia has only just begun. Stop being pedantic.
