I’ve been playing cyberpunk recently and I can’t help the feeing of “this is just our current world with more biotech.”

All good fiction is a statement on reality.

I'd way rather live in the cyberpunk dystopia.

one good thing about these dystopias is that crime is high enough to keep the rent low, or at least keep the landlords from collecting regularly.

Silver linings.

That way at least you get a brain implant that remembers everybody's birthday!

I'm actually reminded of the movie Children of Men, which seems much more of a realistic view of a dystopian landscape in UK over the next 20-50 years.

Or V for Vendetta, we're practically already there.

All of the dystopia but none of the sweet nanotechnological augmentations which make you an invisible unkillable superman. What a timeline.
