It is an interesting take, but once you look beyond the obvious, the critique is reminiscent of "Nothing new under the sun" trope ( they phrase it as a minor insult -- Akira fan fic ). Not exactly compelling argument in my mind.
Personally, I think interest in Cyberpunk may have declined ( and oddly increased in mainstream DND ), because, frankly, we seem to be living in early Cyberpunk universe ( powerful corporations, nascent augment technology.. ).
edit: Then again, Cyber 2077 may re-ignite mainstream interest in the genre.
- toyg 6y agoI think we've been in "early cyberpunk" for about 15 years already (if not 20). The renewed interest, imho, is due to a combination of factors, but mostly two: the generation that grew up reading it as kids is now old enough to be in positions of power over artistic output, so they will use those influences in their own work; and some of the societal shifts cyberpunk speculated about, are now recognizable by pretty much everyone.
