   I have to agree I just don't see this as cyberpunk. though I don't see   
   cyberpunk as being dehumanizing there is some plot lines under tonnes of   
   that. Caprica whether someone sees it as an utopia or dystopia world   
   doesn't make it a cyberpunk series even with the high technology in it.   
   that's like argue that Star Trek is cyberpunk because of Data being a   
   robot.
