We're living in a cyberpunk nightmare
Not yet we're not!
Still plenty of nature to kill before humanity cannot survive in any capacity without corpo supply chains.
If you're breathing free air, drinking real water, and actual food can grow out of the ground we're comparably in cyber paradise given how much worse AI spycraft and corporate ownership will worsen everything exponentially for the non-connected over the next decades
I think by the end of this century we might hit a point of no return because the oil and gas have enough money to keep themselves from going under due to climate change.
I think there may be debate on this point. Climate change may be self perpetuating soon (if it isn't already) due to thawing meant reserves, etc.
I'm not sure if anyone in the scientific mainstream thinks that'll push the climate to a point where we can't survive, but that probably depends on our behaviour over the next few decades.
But without the cool neon aesthetic. ☹️
Elon Musk is working on the cars though. They look like they'll handle like the 2077 cars as well.
I’m still waiting for the cyberpunk part to happen
