this is the most "sum up our present day cyberpunk dystopia in a single image" thing i can think of
cyberpunk
What I learned from cyberpunk books*:
1. Corpos & Feds are villains who exploit you & dump you.
2. Junkies & crooks should team up to rob the rich & keep it.
3. Any kind of "cyber" comes at a horrific moral cost, maybe don't do that.
4. Identity gets you fucked over, only Blanks are free.
What the fucking media portrays:
1. Neon & chrome is cool!
2. Let's make lots of money from corpo gigs!
3. Isn't a world completely alienated from nature great‽

I've got a new PATRON-EXCLUSIVE audio dispatch up on Patreon! Part 1 of "Conversion", my cyberpunk take on the old "what if you could take a pill to make you not queer" thought experiment, is available for a pledge of as little as $5USD!
