@@santiagocruzcoronado5673 Not sure if this is what you mean, but when I flew into Tokyo from Shanghai, I was surprised that it seemed like it was a technological step backward. When I was a kid in the early 90s, people who had been to Tokyo described it as the future, but here I was in 2008 and the metro ticket touch screens weren't even in color. Then I realized it was still the future -- but it was the future of the 1990s and not of 2008. All that cool, futuristic stuff had been built in the late 80s and it was still around and well-maintained.

[@ericzhou-y4t]

I think cyberpunk can never take place in the USA, neither in Europe. It can only be achieved in East and Southeast Asia. China is on the road of technocracy. The aggressive usage of EV and 5G are early signs that China is going to turn into an AI-governed country. In the near future, EVs can be controlled by road authority just like trains. Then the threat of adversarial AIs becomes real. That's the back story of cyberpunk. Humans are going to fight against AIs.

The aesthetic example for the Seedy underbelly of most cyberpunk fiction comes from the Kowloon Walled City that used to exist in Hong Kong. Estimates of 50,000 people living on a plot of land smaller than a single New York city block. Stacks of buildings and apartments multiple stories high, wires to strung up without regulation, very little police presence, and all sorts of illegal activities, but the whole thing was an atmosphere all its own and the people who lived there said that it was a city of freedom.

Chinese cities are cyberpunk BECAUSE of the communist party. More specifically, due to state capitalism the buildings don’t need to go through an extensive planning process.
