    I meant from an aesthics and tech point of view, without the corporate feudalism and what not its just mid scifi or if taken to a further extreme grimdark.

      That’s a fair analysis.

      The other comment said without cool shit and I don’t think there’s anything really cool about cyberpunk aside from mohawks. Cyberware, VR and corporate feudalism are pretty much what defines the genre. So I figured they were referring to cyberware as being the cool shit or VR. And the datajack Musk is working on is what makes full VR possible. At least in theory.

      It’s meant to be a dystopian setting not someplace where you want to live, unless you’re the richest man in the world hoping to kick off corporate feudalism.
