Could a cyberpunk city function at the bottom of the sea?
| Food is abundant undersea. Seaweed and sardine farms will pop up and take lots of ocean space.
Power can be tidal, geothermal, a bit of solar for the harbor above the city that'll take people down by elevators, maybe even nuclear since cooling towers won't be needed, maybe.

| Bubble wouldn't be glass. Or at least, only parts would be. Defense will shift to submarine deployment. Lots of LED lights will be used due to lack of sunlight. It's going to be very hard to maintain. Most likely only an elite's playground. Google will jump at the chance for underwater underground server farms.
In short, imagine Singapore but underwater.

It's like flying cars. Drivers already die horribly on land.
