I'm still holding out hope for cyberpunk. At least it comes with skylines and cool back alley markets.

    And cybernetics that won't play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we're heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)

    The difference is whether there's any room outside the system to exist in, right? Can you jailbreak your implant? Can you live in a shitty illegal slum, or are they all carefully dispersed before they can begin?

    It's all about technologies of control. Ironically, the places seeing democratic backsliding are not the only or even the main ones developing and implementing them.
