Transhumanism is the next step in evolution
Wat
Glasses/contact lenses, pacemakers, insulin pumps, cochlear implants, prosthetic limbs.
Some stuff does help us and isn’t done purely for evil. It is the monkey murdering brain chips you gotta worry about. And maybe some of the listed stuff being taken over by monopolistic corporations like the glasses industry.
Mobile phones, as well. Thing is, though, I wouldn’t describe a mobile phone as “the next step in evolution”—it would seem downright silly to, even.
Not until the phone is in the body.
Gentlemen, I present: the world’s first transhuman!
IN the body. This is still simple gadgetry ;p
Now, bite the phone and you can play off the wording xD
Do people think of cybernetics when they think of transhumanism? I can see the continuum, but I think of transhumanism as being about more fundamental changes
Yeah theres no fucking way I’m ever getting body mods, even if they come out
I would rather not have to charge my fucking limbs
2000 masses - Be careful with the internet, honey, what goes there does not dissapear!
2025 masses - So I dropped my twerkin on insta and got lit feedback, gotta feed incels on onlyfans and then…
*Glass shatters*
“Hand Grip™ is unavailable right now; system updating…”
It’s “a” step, not “the next” step. Evolution has no direction except “different”.
unrestrained capitalism leads to destruction
Thank goodness we live in a restrained capitalist society.
Good old slow and steady sensible destruction, like when I was a kid!!
Cyberpunk as a genre was just a bunch of xenophobic yanks scared that it looked like the people they locked into concentration camps would have an economy stronger than theirs.
cyberpunk is a shitty game I wouldn’t even play it if I stole it. Things have gotten so bad I desire almost nothing and what is even free is not even worth my time. It is really a blessing. These capocorpos can’t even squeeze out mediocre turds anymore. Everything sucks for real. Not even worth stealing. Only low IQ people like this shit. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Not even worth stealing hahaha
Cyberpunk is a genre beyond the game.
It started in literature, too.
Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson’s “Neuromancer”
It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game
The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine “Cyberpunk” work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than “Cyberpunk 2077”
(William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)
Aktshually Cyberpunk 2077 is referencing the pen & paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020. Other than that, you’re absolutely correct.
Ay that makes sense it’s grounded in a pen and paper game
Isn’t it referencing the universe created by Mike Pondsmith?
Well, yes. But I already played the “aktshually” card, so you can’t do the same
