   Post-Tropes: Cyberpunk NOW?

   As we return to these hallowed grounds, I ask: Where do we go from here?   
      
   The enemy isn't the foretold Great Firewall; it's the Great Algorithm   
   shaping the feeds of billions. AI is pushing us from High Tech/Low Life   
   straight into High Tech/No Life. Meanwhile, the tech-priests are already   
   colonizing Mars, and they don't need us.   
      
   When threads about vintage ThinkPads get more attention on /g/ than   
   actual, useful dialogue, I can barely find the energy to seethe. If we   
   genuinely want to revive the scene, let's start saying something new,   
   arguing about opinions, and move on from comfy nostalgia.   
      
   Are there any freaks left who can still see what's coming, or are we   
   resigned to larping in the ruins?   
      
   Full sentences are punk as fuck after all *8)
