How cyberpunk would you like the future to be?
| Sorry i am a good boi
I never cuss
| Would be cool to have cyberpunk similar to blade runner. Imagine, looking outta your balcony. It's raining, there are flying cars passing by, large screens playing weird commercials. Everything looks depressing yet so appealing. All that and blues playing on the background. Bloody perfect I say.
| I'd like the future to be have the cyberpunk aesthetic but more cozy.
| *but be more
| Less dystopian and more cyberpunkish.
| One with underground rebel hackers acting close to my home so I could join and fight the power
| Im guessing the world is almost has its resources stripped from the earth.
Where we live in large tightly securitized cities where the quality of life is poor but yet everybody must rely on augmentations to survive.
The police are constant throughout the cities streets, but yet, there some who may be corrupt for the sake of personal gain and power.
And we, the ordinary people resort to scraping by. While others fight a constant war againest this system through hacks and tech...
| Crime is rife on the streets with neon lighting every where to add some to positivity to these decaying cities.
Rebel groups who fight underground and through protests to help better the ordinary peoples ways of life.
| Exactly like VA-11 HALL-A but with less muggings and corporation greediness. This game is basically set in 2030 LA anyways.
| I hope we don't really get there, it probably will be much worse than literature and videogames though

I'm going to be a tad over artsy and say it doesn't have to be
To me it is a simply a foil of the utopian idea of transhumanism, but I don't feel like it needs to assume dystopia. It may be most effective with dystopian elements tho.
| (to be more clear it's anti-friendos but not inherently dystopian)
| Apparently my keyboard auto corrects anti-utopian as anti-friendos
The more you learn
| Fighting against and evil dystopia
| cyberpunk
ˈsʌɪbəpʌŋk/Submit
noun
noun: cyberpunk
a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
| One kind of like Va-11 Hall-A, or something at least kind of similar. I want stuff like bounty hunting, and hacking and dark web stuff to be a big thing, bigger than it currently is, and I want a bar like Va-11 Hall-A to go to.
I would want to be able to live in a shitty little place in the corner of an alley way with my closest friends and be bounty hunters and if necessary, criminals, and we can sit in our little base and make viruses and shit and run around hacking people.
| Just Cyberpunk but a better standard of living.
| Give me hyper-liberal, everything is crazy all the time, Transmetropolitan cyber-future. People genemodding themselves for fun, hacking their home appliances to create drugs, everyone is armed to the fucking -TEETH-. Basically the tech is out there for us to use, or abuse, as we see fit.
FWIW there were a lot of dystopian notes to Transmetropolitan but it wasn't a depressing slog like many SF staples. "What if robots were human?" "What if government was bad???" Booooring
| I want all the cool cyberware and trids and magic of shit like shadowrun without the dystopic hellhole that values human life, moral decency, and the environment about as much as I value the used tissue I just threw out.

This is what is called Post-Cyberpunk, which is more or less the type of world we're living at the moment.
| About 8.3/10 would be good. Cyberpunky but not over the top.
| Well I believe we won't neccessarily be in a cyberpunk world.. but still have some aspects of it
| The one thing is obvious. There's no anime character in standard life or other life you want.
| I see sentient robots becoming a thing
| I would not want to live in a cyberpunk world. If anything the mayhem and chaos and eventual urban weapon miniwars at all time would destroy all infrastructure and foundations where hi tech lives and needs to exist. Any city will become Aleppo, not Bladerunner town. We are talking how real can it be, right?
No, I would have no passion at all to live in a place like that.
