>>27Huh? I mean you can totally draw comparisons between people who are "very online" and the fiction of neuromancy, but it's not the exact same thing. Cyberpunk fiction is pretty much always dystopian, but cyberspace and its associated concepts are
not always depicted negatively. I feel like most frequently, the critique is pointed at power structures or broader injustice. I know there's a lot of media illiterate people who just look at cyberpunk and go "woah epic" without really thinking about the themes, but I think it's equally reductive to act like the point is "technology bad", "cyberspace bad", "vr bad".
Just my two cents though, I might be reading too much into your post lmao
