Cyberpunk is a fiction because it peddles the naive fantasy that anarchistic actions would be feasible in such a world.
There's not going to be any clever tricks to avoid being picked up the mass physical surveillance network.
Hacking is simply infeasible for the vast majority of people given the complexity of systems and how much intelligence and knowledge is required.
Action movie heists of high value targets are basically impossible to get away with these days let alone in a decade or two.
- leggomylibro 9y agoWell yeah, but if your other consolation idea is 'suicide,' I'd take the million-to-one shot.
- westmeal 9y agoWell sure if we're talking about cyberpunk 'heist' novels/rpgs like Shadowrun & Neuromancer. But it's really interesting to see just how 'cyberpunk' our society has become isn't it? We even have most of the technology in place nowadays. (Well other than the advanced tech they use like cyberdecks and stimsims which aren't really feasible)
