South Africa.
In townships in South Africa you can see high tech low life everywhere: abject poverty but people still find ways to get old flip phones working or running a TV in a home with no electricity: just directly plugging it into a generator.
Nearby, there can be mansions with well-educated folks who hold the typical lawyer/consulting/banking/software set.
- 19eightyfour 10y agoI didn't necessarily have anywhere specifically in Africa in mind but I was not thinking about South Africa. Tho if SA is included, definitely something like what Neil Blomkamp made SA look like in District 9, Chappie, et al, is sort-of cyberpunk to me. Love his aesthetic in those movies. Tho that's not exactly what I was going for here.
