The cyberpunk genre, originally a cautionary tale against a capitalistic dystopia, illustrates themes now prevalent in modern society. Cyberpunk 2077 exemplifies this trend, with its depiction of a world filled with corporate depersonalization. Realities such as AI avatar robots and misleading food advertisements suggest a loss of humanity, while social media has devolved into a breeding ground for misinformation. The previously fictional scenarios explored in cyberpunk are emerging as stark realities, raising questions about the current state of human experience and societal structures.
Cyberpunk 2077 swings back and forth on the pendulum from 'thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human in a depersonalizing corporate hellscape' to 'satire that occasionally feels so comically exaggerated, it's like a Borderlands gag.'
The news is somehow getting stupider by the day, as C-suite executives and tech megalomaniacs with cult followings are doing everything in their power to depersonalize the human experience. We're pretty much there, right?
AI avatar robots walking the streets of cities spouting memes and food advertisements claiming to be AI-curated reflect a cyberpunk reality that has dire consequences.
Social media platforms, designed to bring people together, are now flooded with misinformation, highlighting the dystopian elements explored in cyberpunk narratives.
