It's the shittiest form of cyberpunk.

We have cybernetic implants! But they're only for people who need them or are being headed up by a dipshit (Elon's Neuralink)...

We have AI! But it's just a glorified chat bot and it's not even necessarily good at even that...

We keep having gnarly pandemics of new diseases.

The mega corporations are exactly what you expect.

The quality of life is exactly as you expect, except even the best possible quality you could get if you were rich also kinda fucking sucks compared to fiction (can't even live on Mars forever in a Matrix connected blow job machine IRL)...

The dystopia would be more bearable if I could become a cybernetic superman on Mars. Just sayin'.

You expected to be the main character, but you've just realized you're just one of many NPCs in a cyberpunk reality, just trying yo get by, but getting screwed at every turn by corporations, governments and fate.

Well said! I’m looking forward to the solarpunk/biopunk future nowadays because of… all that
