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

      This is what I tell everyone, we’re on a path where both of these novels are true, at one point will there be a split of one or the other. I think it’ll end up closer to 1984.

      Or Judge Dredd, Demolition Man

      I actually think that Hollywood is putting out these movies to get everyone used to the behaviour. Well not actually but maybe it’s sort of somewhat possible.

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.
