Cyberpunk and How Do We Imagine Something Better Than Dystopia
On today's podcast, we are back talking cyberpunk! We've been discussing it off the air and realized we had more to say on a broader level than what we've talked about from Edgerunner's show. What do you think a positive world with technology looks like? How does humanity positively explore possible futures? In contrast to all of the negative varieties that we see.
If you want to listen to our first conversation on cyberpunk, check it out below:
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a 2022 Polish–Japanese cyberpunk web anime series based on the video game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. The series was animated by Studio Trigger under the supervision of CD Projekt and premiered on Netflix in September 2022. Set in the Cyberpunk universe created by Mike Pondsmith, the anime serves as a prequel to the game and takes place about a year before the events of Cyberpunk 2077. A street kid tries to survive in the technology and body modification-obsessed future city. With everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edge runner: a mercenary outlaw known as a cyberpunk.
