even that gives it too much credit I think. They don't even acknowledge the queer possibilities that would make reactionaries opposed the sleeving process. It's really used just as a plot gimmick.

right. it's just weird to see it in the cyberpunk subgenera since it's been more adventurous about this virtually since its inception. Delany was writing about this in the 70s, which is 50 years ago now.

Also, I think at this point there's something that's inherently retro about cyberpunk. It's still looking towards a future imperfect full of tech that doesn't yet exist, but it's also beholden to speculative fiction from the 70s as a baseline.

Imagining both future tech and how much people will actually embrace it or how it will be integrated into and transform the culture is not an easy thing. It's very much throwing a dart from space. I just know I'd drive myself mad trying to extrapolate such a world.
