   Hi!   
   The technological level is certainly not as advance as the cyberpunk   
   culture imagined it. But the inner state of the world, centered on pure   
   liberalism, libertarism, pur extrem egalitarian humanism and mondialism   
   around a new world order centered on a new world government is quite   
   ready to come true. It's just too bad that the only part of the   
   cyberpunk culture who's gonna fully realising itself is the bad part;   
   it'd be cooler to resist with homemaid robot, cool AI and make pursue   
   driving gravity cars... At the end, take apart a futur where implant are   
   mandatory, a true resistant would never be for the implants, of any   
   kind.   
   To conclude, and I think that it's the most afraiding thing about, the   
   current extrem egalitarian humanism propaganda take its root in feminism,   
   "hack"tivism and this whole hacking world first. In fact, it's the   
   technological field who have the higher position in such an expand of   
   this vision of the world. That maybe shows that the futur oposition   
   against the partisan of the new world against the partisan of the old   
   one (funny thing is that since the begining of the modern domination   
   upon the world, this combat exists) actually will take its root right   
   know, in the "hacker" field. That's certainly afraiding, but beautiful   
   too to see the future shaping itself. Afraiding because this engine have   
   so much mass that it's unstoppable, but beautiful because even though   
   the project is monstruous, it's incredibly well made.
