    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.

        To be fair, I don’t see anyone not even more evil than Epstein over there, ruling the world. And unless you rule the world, the worst of us eventually will. So being VERY transhuman, might actually be the only way to win.
