It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

I appreciate the explanation, but I don't think I follow what that has to do with cyberpunk.

Wikipedia describes cyberpunk as "futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cyberware, juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay".

I understand the relation to dystopia, and even your comparison to the punk movement, but I don't get the cyberpunk comparison, lol
