Our present is pretty dystopian to be fair.
Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.
Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.
The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.
We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.
We will but they’ll be owned by Musk et al
And if your don't pay your bill, your eyes will shut down, vision as a subscription service mwah
The new iSight, for only 69.99$/mo.
It's actually $69.69/mo (nice), please be more accurate next time sir.
