Cyberpunk

Bruce Sterling once described the essence of cyberpunk with a chilling perspective: "Treating humans like rats-any experiment or control mechanism designed for rats can just as easily be applied to humans. Closing your eyes and refusing to acknowledge this reality won’t make it vanish." This dystopian vision perfectly encapsulates the core themes of cyberpunk-oppression, surveillance, and the ever-blurring boundary between human consciousness and machine control. At its heart, cyberpunk presents a grim prediction of the future: "Whoever masters technology, masters humanity." In a world dominated by corporations, artificial intelligence, and cybernetic enhancements, the power struggle isn’t just about wealth or politics-it’s about controlling the very fabric of existence itself.
