    On this note, please stop me from making irrational decisions.

      Hey I mean, when has irrational, unrestrained, idenity-forming/confirming consumerism ever led to some kind of dystopia or something?

      If you’re gonna make an irrational decision, at least steal the thing instead of paying the fandom tax.

      Be the punk.

      I’m here to help: buy it!

      Everything else would be irrational <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>

      Is it the manga or the anime?

      I’ve been looking for a high quality edition of the manga 👀

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

  • Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
  • Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
  • Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
  • Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
  • Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
