With dorks like musk who like the vibe and completely miss the point working as hard as they can to implement it, I feel like it’s somewhat of a self-fulfilling genre
Musk isn’t missing the point, he just relates more to the super evil mega corp CEOs than the punks. The “point” of cyberpunk doesn’t effect him because he’s not a worker.
Cyberpunk traces its roots as far back as the sixties but really cemented itself in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The fact that their collective vision of the 2020’s was so damn close to reality is really damn freaky.
Cyberpunk is one of the most prophetic literary genres ever.
Left wing wants solarpunk. Right wing wants cyberpunk. Best we can do is probably Mad Max.

Nonsense! You’ll be free to replace your arms for a job, or to travel to the asteroid belt for a job, or to live forever in the computer for a job!
aye, but being able to change your gender is a step too far for the us republican party

all Sci fi is about the present not the future.

There is a somewhat unknown cyberpunk comic called “2020 visions” written in the late 90s that basically perfectly predicts COVID-19.
I read it for the first time during COVID times without knowing what I was getting into and it was pretty damn strange.
