What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Hey, do you mind saying what client you're using to read this? I mostly use a web browser and that didn't happen for me, so I'm interested in trying out another client to see what things look like.
I'm using Boost with a proxy level ad blocker
Thanks for the info, it looks like a bug/feature in Boost when dealing with movie files from archive.org, a situation that probably doesn't happen that often. On the bright side, the movie stopped playing when I scrolled past it, so it isn't too bad. It looks like video ads work the same way, so it would only be particularly noticeable when ads aren't showing in Boost. It was an interesting experience, seeing all my favorite communities in another interface, I'll have to check out a couple others!
It's a decent ui, some weirdness here and there, with new comment highlighting for example. It didn't play in its entirety but it did start and I closed the app anyway to save data.
