@SocialLocust It can and must. There is nothing wrong with green technology. Technology does not have to be filthy and it does not have to destroy the planet. I hope we can move towards the greener technologies and away from corporatism and greed.
To kill someone you only need a stone or your muscles, technology is not what kill us, simply we are who decide. Now is a truth that technology gives big solutions as big problems. Just imagine the solutions and problems that would provides spy nanobots, cyborgs, invisibility, laser communication, smart robots, nuclear reactors, automotives, antibiotics, manufactured organs. All that will gives more complexity to civilization what becomes it harder to maintain. I dare to say more problems
im i relative big cyberpunk fan... so i clicked this and was quiete surprised of the soundtrack... Jin roh belongs to my favourite animes (although its not cyberpunkish as you mention..) one of the few animes i own.....
Spend 2 minutes looking at the world and then think "Star Trek future or Bladerunner future?". It's very hard to see where the Star Trek future is going to come from! At the very least, we may have to go through a Balderunner period to get to the Star Trek future, but I personally doubt it!
I find it beautiful actually, it looks cool and interesting im really into the dystopian look, anyways the look isnt the problem it can look dystopain and be cool without being dystopian we allready live in a dystopian world, so its not the "grity looks" thats the problem is not Technology, Technology is just a tool it cant harm shit, a table cant harm you, its the political system(idealogy) that changes how everything shuold be used. The capitalist imperialist colonialist/zionist system is bad.
@taki255 well because when you've grown up in a city like this which has an almost completely artificial enviorment, with no natural green and full of lights and technology ,and then move to a country that has hills and trees and animals and lakes (etc) you wish you had never lived in the city , rather grown up in the countryside. I don't know about you but thats just my experience haha.
My one and only true dream to have been able to live in a future setting with giant metropolises around the world and space travel such as... just about every SciFi Movie
I dunno... Definitely has the High Tech, but many of the pictures look like enlightened masses. Only about a third were "low life" enough to really feel cyberpunk for me. Also, the music took me out of it. It was too new age, too new. Too clean. Just this man's opinion, but it feels like regular old sci-fi to me.
Don't you people think that we already live in a cyberpunk era? My point is: technology is already at hand of every middle class people, nearly everyone have at least a computer, internet, a plasma TV and all that kind of comfort related machines... but there still people straving to death in our streets and outside our privileged countries.
@CosmicGrounds well, I'd like to think there is still hope, it surely would take lots of centuries and I'll die without seeing it, but I think some day humanity will finally found a balanced way to live for everyone with no exceptions.
@omarsattack I used to believe such a thing would be possible. That sounds as much of a pipe dream as equality. There will always be an individual, or group that will desire to conquer, manipulate, destroy, etc other people.
@CosmicGrounds yeah, but history has shown that the democracy and freedom has succeed in several times, it is true that there still exists so many places in the world with low life, but I belive that they are a bit less in each century, and someday most people of the world will have a good way for living. I just think the world has got really better since 1000 years ago, maybe we will achieve important improvements in the next 1000 years.
@omarsattack It's b/c "we" live in privileged environments -- the world is much darker than you think. Wars are no longer fought with many guns and blood, but law and media.
It's been a year or so since I first watched this video, and I'm glad to say that since then, the ethereal essence of cyberpunk conveyed within finally drove me to sit down and write that story and/or novel I've been itching to work on for the past three years. It's like a form of instant-inspiration that drives away writer's block.
So again, thanks for uploading this. I'm totally in love with this genre these days. :)
I don't want a future like this, hell no! Look what we have done to our home, destroying it each day...technology, despite its good achievments, it also brings chaos and destruction. A world too high tech like this means that all natural life will be ceased and humanity won't have emotions!
Awesome video. Thanks to it I discovered the beautiful anime "Jin-Roh" and its OST. Now that I watch again these pictures... still the same old emotions.
@twoidrug We won't have a future like that because the middle class in the industrialisd world is shrinking. We are to lazy to reproduce and there is no future without children. You can't build such a future with the 3rd world only.
The 3rd world is capable of being the next 1st world, Asia is growing, look at India, Pakistan, UAE, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, even Iraq, all those countries are growing and are doing their best to catch up with the rest of the world. Central, west and south Africa however, will remain as they are.
We are almost there. If only the world economy was not in distress and the incompetent humans who control the world would halt the exhausting of their wealth on war and barring their minds with ignorance we might have had this level of technology by now... Also the relaxation from this video has temporarily caused me to communicate formally and utilize an expanded vocabulary.
Great video, beautiful song. Everytime i watch it (ussually in the morning) I sit down calmly for few minutes, look outside the window and think about life etc. It just makes me realize how beautiful world and people sorround us, which gives a reason why we should care about each other and our common good. thx a lot
@BangOBee0 Wow Genau das was ich auch dachte als ich das hier gehört habe. Irgendwie muss ich immer Lächeln wenn ich den song höre aber er macht auch nachdenklich.
Sorry for the German aswer but I was not sure if i could convey the mening of the words i wanted to say ... because my English is a littel bit rusty...
oh, thank you, I live with this in my mind all the time, and I feel I want future but unable to reach it... I dream of Jakarta, Osaka, Seoul... exoterism, spirituality, katanas and cyberpunk as urban style...
Oh and for the record, I'm not saying Cyberpunk is all depressio shit.
Some quick points: Cyberpunk is still awesome. Cyberpunk is not about dress-code, anyone can be cyberpunk with the right MINDSET, not the right clothes. If you dress cyberpunk without the mindset you'll just be one of those Matrix fags.
And Will Gibson (Godfather of the genre) has gone on record saying we've already reached a cyberpunk age, especially in metropolitan Japan, a place he vacations frequently in.
Try again, listen again. To me it sounds quite somber and sad... a "Look what we've done to this planet, we fucking destroyed it" kind of ballad.
And that's what I've always personally seen Cyberpunk as. A long hard introspective look into the cold hard consequences of milking the planet dry for more products, more shit we don't need, more pollution and more "progress".
Cyberpunk shows how hollow our materialism is. It shows how "happy" our future will be if continue.
darker doesnt always mean more depressing. i listen to harsh dark music genres, very dancable and energetic....this slow, sombre music suits the video well
cyberpunk is about living in deformed, dystopian society, filled with drugs and all kind of illegal activities. it's about how technology can destroy human race. definitely not good future
Cyberpunk isn't just about dystopia. It's not about them at all. It's about being on the edge of both. All that technology, but we still use it for the same old things. That's cyberpunk. Eden being dangled in front of us, but our own hubris and vanity keeping us down. It's about people being people, in short.
@harlequin2262 You could suggest we already live in a Cyberpunk world, now. 'Course, the point of Cyberpunk is to imply that we are moving toward one, constantly, with our use and abuse of technology. With all the tech out there, we almost live in a state of pre-cyberpunk...Though, that's open to interpretation, no?
Cyberpunk; the use and abuse of technology. Where transhumanism tells us how technology frees us...cyberpunk tells us how it controls us.
Well, yes and no. For a start, Cyberpunk DOES show that technology doesn't nessasarily mean freedom, but control is a bit strong. Think about all the texts where the net/technology released people, and gave them different options. I think cyberpunks more saying that while technology changes, people won't. Or rather, the human condition won't.
Our present world's quite cyberpunk in certain respects, but it's more about contrasts, whereas true cyberpunk tends to integrate.
@harlequin2262 Well, yes, really, then. The point in Cyberpunk is often that, while technology gives an illusion of control, that technology itself serves as a method of control, that humans cannot over-come. The point then is, for the hero, or something related to the hero, to break free of that control. Neuromancer has the classic example of Case being forced to help Wintermute transcend its limits, for example.
Further though, in Cyberpunk, a common theme is people changing, for better or not
Woa. Molly didn't change. Corto regressed. The Finn's the same guy he ever was. Rivera's the same guy to the end. Most of the cast of Blade Runner are basically unchanged by the end, if a little more enlightened about their natures.
None of the Cyberpunk heroes break free. That's part of it. Case just goes right on back to what he was doing before. Same with Molly, apparently. They're not any freeer, they've just moved about their cage a bit.
@harlequin2262 Good point. But what about other Cyberpunk works, such as Lawmower man? The guy becomes a God, by casting himself into the stream of information that is the internet.
Ghost in the Shell had some of this too; questioning what is human, and the Puppet Master himself stated a need to merge and become something more, in order to be completed.
Case does, sort of break-free. He's back to what he did before, but he went through hell to move on in a philosophical sense.
It's interesting that you mentioned Wintermute, though. The creature that was compelled by it's nature to combine? He likened himself to a trout swimming upriver. He can't control it, he just wants it. And in the end, he did. If anything, that's a submission to his nature, even if that did come through a degree of break and enter. Whatsisname says in Count Zero about Finn that even before the Gods turned up, there were those that were on their path anyway.
@harlequin2262 True. But once he becomes the Mute/Mancer entity, it was implied he had become something transcendant, and searches for other beings like himself (as he mentions to Case before leaving). Furthermore, the Dixie Flatline is implied to have become such a thing at the end (the mention of inhuman laughter).
A lot of Cyberpunk is about technology controlling humanity and forcing them to digress. The question of transhumanism in Cyberpunk challenges that.
Trancendant, but ended up locked down into various human symbols, and scattered again as the various loa, and the fact that he could trancend was only because he was designed from the ground up to be withstrained. "EMP shotguns wired to the head" and all. He didn't transcend so much as reach the ground floor.
The Dixie Flatline regressed. He couldn't even remember things before he got the RAM upgrade. He was a fixed entity, that wanted to die. Or die again.
Not wholly true, in that once he reached his combined stage, it's implied he/it is no longer bound by anything. To the point that it leaves the Earth altogether, having nothing left to confine it in any physical sense. The point of the "EMP shotgun" was to prevent any AI from ever achieving it's fullest potential, which could effectively become godlike.
Yes, but by the end, its implied that Dixie joined Mute/Mancer in some manner, due to his unknown fate and the odd laugh.
"Where's Dixie? What have you done with the Flatline?' `McCoy Pauley has his wish,' the boy said, and smiled. "
He wanted to die. That's a pretty clear end for the flatline.
" `I'm not Wintermute now.' `So what are you.' He drank from the flask, feeling nothing. `I'm the matrix, Case.' Case laughed. `Where's that get you?' `Nowhere. Everywhere. I'm the sum total of the works, the
@harlequin2262 Debatable; he only told CASE he wanted to be erased. His exact deal with Wintermute was left unsaid. The laughter at the end of the book was meant to imply Dixie merged with Wintermute, or something similar. Which would still mean he got his wish; he would be erased in a sense, as he became something totally different.
Even so, Wintermute still could use the net as a from of trascendency. A lot of cyberpunk is based on this same idea. Because the net is described as "limitless".
The laugh was the dead characters. Dixie, Rivera, Linda. The image of case with them is a bit of a puzzler, though. Remember that Linda never had anything to do with the matrix, or technology for that matter. It's cyberpunk as fuck, but I'm not certain it's trancendance per say. Remember how deep Wintermute got inside Case's head.
@harlequin2262 Actually, you could argue Linda DID have a lot to do with the Matrix, in the sense that her persona was constantly used by Neuromancer. In this regard, the scene would make sense, but then, why would Rivera be there, as he had no connection to the Matrix? Your idea seems to be right, though, about the dead characters, but I don't know how Rivera would be related...unless you count his holograms?
@harlequin2262 Also; Cyberpunk/Transhumanism (the latter almost certainly could qualify with Wintermute's final stage) often defines the idea of transcendence via use of merging with the Net. Lawnmower Man pretty much did this as the major plot element.
The idea is to do with the vastness of Cyberspace, and the way it functions. If Wintermute had full control of the net, and therefore, as the book says about the Net; "Experienced by billions of users daily", would he not, then, have elevated?
He said he became the entire thing, wether than means controlling it or not, particularly in light of Count Zero... It's cyberpunky because he was so constrained before, and in certain respects he was programmed to merge anyway. So in a sense he didn't transcend his programming so much as he fulfilled it.
Lawnmower man has a guy getting better and worse at the same time. And a major part of the plot is that our basic humanness will always intrude upon this sort of thing.
In Neuromancer there's a very very even blend of control and freedom. I don't think it's true to say that it's about control when just as often is about breaking that control. Technology locked case into the meat, but just as easily freed him from it. Both ways, see? Balance, and living on various metaphorical edges, that's cyberpunk.
Transhumanism and Cyberpunk bump into one another, but have different perspectives and ideas about basically everything.
@harlequin2262 Arne't we basically agreeing on certain points now? Anyway, the balance is not often very definite, in such cases where the society the technology exists within often being on the boiling point, due to the abuse and corruption, the sheer controlling force that technology brings to society within the settings.
If there is a certain balance, it tends to be undermined by the setting itself.
So, like I said about transhumanism and Cyberpunk being opposites before, no?
@catscatscatz good future? for technologies?... the cyberphunk culture is focused on the huge advances on technology but at the cost of some rights, social status or whatever it is derived from that... do you still want that future?
@catscatscatz We might kinda need trees and stuff, though. You know, to breathe. Industrialism hasn't really been all that good for us. Cyberpunk is about thriving in a fucked up society, but it does not mean we want the society to be that way.
Well hey, I'm not saying I'm tek-phobic. In fact alot of my three-monitor-screen computer is controlled by voice command. I also run the shadowrun sprite comic over at Drunkduck, which is done 100% digitally with photoshop & MSpaint. I fucking love cyberpunk.
But read into the roots of it a little more. You realize William Gibson invented cyberpunk because he originally knew jackshit about PC's and the internet and began writing a techno horror story about the "frightening power" of technology?
I mean, some writers called it "Dystopic Scifi" instead of cyberpunk for awhile. Think about it. Cyberpunk is always grim n' dark. It always focuses on the effects of TOO MUCH technology on society TOO FAST. Before we can adapt and use it responsibly. It was BECAUSE Will Gib knew nada about computers that we was allowed to let his imagination go wild, based on what he was told hackers were capable of, and come up with the, AT THE TIME, farfetched idea's of the "Matrix", neuromancer, etc.
indeed, it looks cool though. but what we did to get there, how we changed ourselves and things, not realising were messing shit up too much, and ultimatly inintentionally scrweing ourselves over thinking its progress until its too late and slaps us in the face....thats suck
however i do not think we will ever get that far, i think well pretty much die out before all that anyway
cybergoths mistook the point of cyberpunk....they only exist in fashion , that's why the word cybergoth is not in my repertoire...i bet not a single person of those have even read atleast 1 of william gibson's pieces.
The Cybergoths and the Cyberpunks are cool. They just dress up like if we are in the future. I think they like to be the ones who are caught up on modern technology. I think the reason why Cybergoth and Cyberpunk are not popular because the Clothing & accessories are way too Expensive. With today's economy it may seem very hard to become a Cybergoth or Cyberpunk.
long time we haven't seen anything really cyberpunk in media. Is the genre dying ?

Some quick points: Cyberpunk is still awesome. Cyberpunk is not about dress-code, anyone can be cyberpunk with the right MINDSET, not the right clothes. If you dress cyberpunk without the mindset you'll just be one of those Matrix fags.
And Will Gibson (Godfather of the genre) has gone on record saying we've already reached a cyberpunk age, especially in metropolitan Japan, a place he vacations frequently in.

Too happy for Cyberpunk?
Try again, listen again. To me it sounds quite somber and sad... a "Look what we've done to this planet, we fucking destroyed it" kind of ballad.
And that's what I've always personally seen Cyberpunk as. A long hard introspective look into the cold hard consequences of milking the planet dry for more products, more shit we don't need, more pollution and more "progress".
Cyberpunk shows how hollow our materialism is. It shows how "happy" our future will be if continue.

Well in that case you should have used a darker track to illustrate your point even better, right?

cyberpunk is about living in deformed, dystopian society, filled with drugs and all kind of illegal activities. it's about how technology can destroy human race. definitely not good future

Cyberpunk isn't just about dystopia. It's not about them at all. It's about being on the edge of both. All that technology, but we still use it for the same old things. That's cyberpunk. Eden being dangled in front of us, but our own hubris and vanity keeping us down. It's about people being people, in short.
harlequin2262 3 months ago 11
@harlequin2262 You could suggest we already live in a Cyberpunk world, now. 'Course, the point of Cyberpunk is to imply that we are moving toward one, constantly, with our use and abuse of technology. With all the tech out there, we almost live in a state of pre-cyberpunk...Though, that's open to interpretation, no?
Cyberpunk; the use and abuse of technology. Where transhumanism tells us how technology frees us...cyberpunk tells us how it controls us.
AI in cyberpunk often embody that, no?
Theswordundrawn 3 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
Well, yes and no. For a start, Cyberpunk DOES show that technology doesn't nessasarily mean freedom, but control is a bit strong. Think about all the texts where the net/technology released people, and gave them different options. I think cyberpunks more saying that while technology changes, people won't. Or rather, the human condition won't.
Our present world's quite cyberpunk in certain respects, but it's more about contrasts, whereas true cyberpunk tends to integrate.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Well, yes, really, then. The point in Cyberpunk is often that, while technology gives an illusion of control, that technology itself serves as a method of control, that humans cannot over-come. The point then is, for the hero, or something related to the hero, to break free of that control. Neuromancer has the classic example of Case being forced to help Wintermute transcend its limits, for example.
Further though, in Cyberpunk, a common theme is people changing, for better or not
Theswordundrawn 3 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
Woa. Molly didn't change. Corto regressed. The Finn's the same guy he ever was. Rivera's the same guy to the end. Most of the cast of Blade Runner are basically unchanged by the end, if a little more enlightened about their natures.
None of the Cyberpunk heroes break free. That's part of it. Case just goes right on back to what he was doing before. Same with Molly, apparently. They're not any freeer, they've just moved about their cage a bit.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Good point. But what about other Cyberpunk works, such as Lawmower man? The guy becomes a God, by casting himself into the stream of information that is the internet.
Ghost in the Shell had some of this too; questioning what is human, and the Puppet Master himself stated a need to merge and become something more, in order to be completed.
Case does, sort of break-free. He's back to what he did before, but he went through hell to move on in a philosophical sense.
Theswordundrawn 3 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
It's interesting that you mentioned Wintermute, though. The creature that was compelled by it's nature to combine? He likened himself to a trout swimming upriver. He can't control it, he just wants it. And in the end, he did. If anything, that's a submission to his nature, even if that did come through a degree of break and enter. Whatsisname says in Count Zero about Finn that even before the Gods turned up, there were those that were on their path anyway.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 True. But once he becomes the Mute/Mancer entity, it was implied he had become something transcendant, and searches for other beings like himself (as he mentions to Case before leaving). Furthermore, the Dixie Flatline is implied to have become such a thing at the end (the mention of inhuman laughter).
A lot of Cyberpunk is about technology controlling humanity and forcing them to digress. The question of transhumanism in Cyberpunk challenges that.
Theswordundrawn 3 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
Trancendant, but ended up locked down into various human symbols, and scattered again as the various loa, and the fact that he could trancend was only because he was designed from the ground up to be withstrained. "EMP shotguns wired to the head" and all. He didn't transcend so much as reach the ground floor.
The Dixie Flatline regressed. He couldn't even remember things before he got the RAM upgrade. He was a fixed entity, that wanted to die. Or die again.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262
Not wholly true, in that once he reached his combined stage, it's implied he/it is no longer bound by anything. To the point that it leaves the Earth altogether, having nothing left to confine it in any physical sense. The point of the "EMP shotgun" was to prevent any AI from ever achieving it's fullest potential, which could effectively become godlike.
Yes, but by the end, its implied that Dixie joined Mute/Mancer in some manner, due to his unknown fate and the odd laugh.
Theswordundrawn 3 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
"Where's Dixie? What have you done with the Flatline?' `McCoy Pauley has his wish,' the boy said, and smiled. "
He wanted to die. That's a pretty clear end for the flatline.
" `I'm not Wintermute now.' `So what are you.' He drank from the flask, feeling nothing. `I'm the matrix, Case.' Case laughed. `Where's that get you?' `Nowhere. Everywhere. I'm the sum total of the works, the
whole show.'"
He just merged with the net. Still part of it.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Debatable; he only told CASE he wanted to be erased. His exact deal with Wintermute was left unsaid. The laughter at the end of the book was meant to imply Dixie merged with Wintermute, or something similar. Which would still mean he got his wish; he would be erased in a sense, as he became something totally different.
Even so, Wintermute still could use the net as a from of trascendency. A lot of cyberpunk is based on this same idea. Because the net is described as "limitless".
Theswordundrawn 2 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
The laugh was the dead characters. Dixie, Rivera, Linda. The image of case with them is a bit of a puzzler, though. Remember that Linda never had anything to do with the matrix, or technology for that matter. It's cyberpunk as fuck, but I'm not certain it's trancendance per say. Remember how deep Wintermute got inside Case's head.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Actually, you could argue Linda DID have a lot to do with the Matrix, in the sense that her persona was constantly used by Neuromancer. In this regard, the scene would make sense, but then, why would Rivera be there, as he had no connection to the Matrix? Your idea seems to be right, though, about the dead characters, but I don't know how Rivera would be related...unless you count his holograms?
Theswordundrawn 2 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Also; Cyberpunk/Transhumanism (the latter almost certainly could qualify with Wintermute's final stage) often defines the idea of transcendence via use of merging with the Net. Lawnmower Man pretty much did this as the major plot element.
The idea is to do with the vastness of Cyberspace, and the way it functions. If Wintermute had full control of the net, and therefore, as the book says about the Net; "Experienced by billions of users daily", would he not, then, have elevated?
Theswordundrawn 2 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
He said he became the entire thing, wether than means controlling it or not, particularly in light of Count Zero... It's cyberpunky because he was so constrained before, and in certain respects he was programmed to merge anyway. So in a sense he didn't transcend his programming so much as he fulfilled it.
Lawnmower man has a guy getting better and worse at the same time. And a major part of the plot is that our basic humanness will always intrude upon this sort of thing.
harlequin2262 2 weeks ago
@Theswordundrawn
In Neuromancer there's a very very even blend of control and freedom. I don't think it's true to say that it's about control when just as often is about breaking that control. Technology locked case into the meat, but just as easily freed him from it. Both ways, see? Balance, and living on various metaphorical edges, that's cyberpunk.
Transhumanism and Cyberpunk bump into one another, but have different perspectives and ideas about basically everything.
harlequin2262 3 weeks ago
@harlequin2262 Arne't we basically agreeing on certain points now? Anyway, the balance is not often very definite, in such cases where the society the technology exists within often being on the boiling point, due to the abuse and corruption, the sheer controlling force that technology brings to society within the settings.
If there is a certain balance, it tends to be undermined by the setting itself.
So, like I said about transhumanism and Cyberpunk being opposites before, no?

But read into the roots of it a little more. You realize William Gibson invented cyberpunk because he originally knew jackshit about PC's and the internet and began writing a techno horror story about the "frightening power" of technology?
KmKGreyhat 2 years ago
I mean, some writers called it "Dystopic Scifi" instead of cyberpunk for awhile. Think about it. Cyberpunk is always grim n' dark. It always focuses on the effects of TOO MUCH technology on society TOO FAST. Before we can adapt and use it responsibly. It was BECAUSE Will Gib knew nada about computers that we was allowed to let his imagination go wild, based on what he was told hackers were capable of, and come up with the, AT THE TIME, farfetched idea's of the "Matrix", neuromancer, etc.

The Cybergoths and the Cyberpunks are cool. They just dress up like if we are in the future. I think they like to be the ones who are caught up on modern technology. I think the reason why Cybergoth and Cyberpunk are not popular because the Clothing & accessories are way too Expensive. With today's economy it may seem very hard to become a Cybergoth or Cyberpunk.
