    Oh man. Soylent Green is pretty fucking close to what we're living right now.

    • Climate change
    • Housing being out of reach for working people who are now living in staircases and in the streets
    • Women losing their rights and becoming "furniture"

    I mean most of all human civilization has had those very things though. The climate change part is a bit more recent, but housing has and always will be problematic, and women along with anyone that looks 'different' are typically the first people subjugated in human civilizations. When you think about it at a high level, humans kind of suck overall.

    at least two years ago they were trying to grow meat (for consumption) and body parts (for implantation, so i guess consumption too) in vats. ain't heard much about that, but there has been bigger stuff to worry about.

    Terminator: Arnie is the bad guy

    Terminator 2: no wait, the first one made him a huge star so he's the hero now!

    Terminator 3: Quick, let's squeeze one last one out before he becomes The Governator in a few months!

    True Names (1981), Software (1982), Neuromancer (1984), Hardwired (1986), Wetware (1988)

    Cyberpunk is lowlife and high tech. It's completely dystopian. The early 1980s was the height of the Cold War with Reagan in power. People were not optimistic about the future in the 1980s, they were just hoping that it wouldn't end in a nuclear war.
