Cyberpunk resurgence
What caused it?
Is it an undertow? Just before Bladerunner 2049 I noticed a steady build up that is givin fruit... Gits, Altered Carbon, Mute and few others in past months. I was wondering is it global or am I in my echo chamber fishing out all that is Cyberpunk? If its not, I expect to se more in coming months, now in post production they will start appearing in the summer or fall (do you already know of such projects?).
Is it somehow related to CP2077? Is the subject ripe? I think a similar thing went regarding Game of Thrones and its immense popularity ever since. Can we expect the same kind of trend and following after Cyberpunk gets more recognition with media? Look what happened with the Witcher franchise, after Netflix series I assume it will grow even bigger. If its good that is.
So, are we at the brink of new wave of cyberpunk? Its been too long, recumbent, dormant in its digital sleep I'd say. Is there a bright future after all?
The other thing that interest me is how will Cyberpunk incorporate other ideas like posthumanism or transhumanism in particular? What I want to see is for humanity to embrace the idea that we can be so much more. Coz currently we look down, eyes down in the mud. Elon Musk is not enough it seems as the offset to the masses thinking patterns.
Success? Or will CP stay more or less hermetic with high entry point? I think the real question is: are people ready for Cyberpunk?
This post may or may not be all over the place, my apologies
PS. Please let me know what other project you know of that will surface in the near future.
