      It's typical science fiction tunnel vision, this refusal to really commit to the idea "If it's possible to do this thing all the time then people will do it all the time", transformative social change

      Like the people who used to argue that they can make the Internet as fancy as they want but it will still always just be a hobby for nerds *Normal* people would never, say, look for sex partners online, they'd have no need to

      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.

      Yeah the idea of "cyberpunk" as an aesthetic nowadays isn't that different from "steampunk" It's the future of the past, it's what people in the past thought "high tech" would look like, which feels more reassuring than the real high tech all around us

      And reimagined cyberpunk that doesn't rely on past works but just looks forward doesn't resemble cyberpunk to audiences.

      It's really just going to to an audacious and fresh vision of cyberpunk that captures people's imaginations to redefine what the genre is to audiences of a new generation, but it ain't Snow Crash.

      I wonder what a post-capitalist cyperpunk would look like.

      I think "prep" as a slur is kind of ridiculous and always reminds me of My Immortal But "cyberprep" as a name for one failure mode of cyberpunk is on point I think

          Like it literally is that Like the culture of elite prep schools, the "cyberprep" aesthetic is about preparing people to be the privileged elite of a new high tech economy

          It's the opposite of "punk" or "goth" I guess the kids these days would say "bougie" (though that has its origin in Black slang and generalizing it is problematic)
