We some how got wedged between Idiocracy and Cyberpunk 2077.
Our dreams of technology didn't meet with the realities/limits of materials science/engineering except for computing and the internet.
The technology was there; the humanity wasn't.
You know, we live in "technology was there; the humanity wasn't" since DMCA was legislated. We literally have information duping machine, but there is law that forbids it. When there will be everything duping machine, ruling class will its use by anyone outside of ruling class.
What do you mean somehow? Cyberpunk as a genre has always been a vision of a future of unchecked corporate power, it only became prescient because Americans gave corporations unchecked power.
Original comment mentioned game Cyberpunk 2077, not entire genre cyberpunk. But yes, unchecked corporate power leads to neofeudalism.
I didn't think to word it "Walking into the future lubed up, bent over, and ready to pay for the patriotic right to get split roasted by Google and Blackrock" because that's a bit of a mouth full.
