“The belief that technology will solve every single problem of society, is what I call digital fundamentalism, which is as dangerous as religious fundamentalism.”
"Cyberpunk show us the dark side, reveiling the dangerous side effects of the drug of futurism." - Indigo Gaming
Cyberpunk, a very interesting genre. It became even more then just a genre for me. Watch these video's and it will tell you why Cyberpunk became more then just a genre for me. Many subjects that Cyberpunk addresses, are very realistic to a philosophical level.
And yes, Cyberpunk 2077 failed at launch due the many problems and lack of promises. But it's still one of the best game's ever. And the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime is really good. I would prefer Ghost in the Shell style more, but still both serie's are very great. Other serie's are great aswell, I could even recommend the book "Do Androids Dream Of Electric sheeps".
It even get's BBC's news attention.
Cyberpunk 2077 a 'warning' about the future
Watch this whole video, this one is very interesting. It's one of the most interesting video's i've ever seen.
Mike Pondsmith, one of the co-founders of Cyberpunk genre. "Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself."
Watch the first 3:38 sec
Watch the first 4:10 sec (but I can recommend the whole serie's if you want to know more about all the movies, books and games.)
It's a matter of time before someone analysis Cyberpunk Edgerunners. It has also very interesting subjects, like how people become chroom junkies, and how it can change their lives. David is a very good example of this. We can already see this kind of technology addiction in our own reality. I can't wait for the analysis about Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Here is another master piece. Sasha lost her mother due side effects of a medicine. The company hides the facts, so they don't have to take it from the market. Sasha sacrifice herself, to leak it out to the press. Company authority is also a very big subject in the Cyberpunk genre.
