Been looking for one for quite some time now, any tips?

Foundational cyberpunk novel, maybe proto-cyberpunk novel. Predated Neuromacer by about three years.

I wonder if it’ll work elsewhere

I just saw this randomly in my feed, thought it was amazing, figured this was the right place to share it.

Inspired by a recent post—does anyone have any recs for cyberpunk fiction that addresses the way in which corporations collaborate with fascist governments? Or how fascism is often a reaction to the failure of capitalist societies to continue endless growth without turning on their citizens?

I feel like a lot of sci-fi assumes either a totalitarian state (e.g. Star Wars, Dune), or a loosely Oligarchical corporate dystopia (Cyberpunk). But our reality, and history, suggests a messier relationship!

Ty in advance for any recs!

Over the past few weeks, I've been sharing work from Joi Rudin, our team's 2D illustrator.

Well the thing is that he's also pretty damn amazing in the 3D realm and this time he joined forces with Vamp, the mastermind behind all our enemy and map models, to work on this concept for a very special enemy.

Let us know what you think! :)

More of Joi's art for the game:

• Card art for "Calibrate"
• Card art for "Glass Cannon"
• Steam capsule art process

I recently watched Andor and I was astonished by the sheer complexity of the resistance, and i mean every player:

• Rich socialists with a savior complex, who fund movements, charities, or propaganda, (like Mon mothma).
• Militant like communist guerrilla fighters hiding underground, plotting for strategic attacks and bombings to cripple the capitalist economy.
• Online recruiters and content makers that radicalize young people to join the cause.
• University professors refusing to be censored by their university and say the truth even if they will get fired. And their students who are willingly protesting at the cost of their future.
• Your blue collar average Jo: (factory workers, drivers, miners, service workers, farmers, construction workers) finally breaking under the weight of capitalism that stole their livelihood exploding in violent mass protests, destroying and looting corporate property, and later unionizing and boycotting corps.
• The heads of criminal syndicates that want to stick it to the rich corporations for consistently cracking down on their operation, so they finance the resistance and sell them guns even.
• Whistleblowers in the government that use their position to leak information to the public.
• Artists making political and inspired art to critique corporate slob.
• Indigenous communities raiding and protesting the exploitation and later pollution of their land.
• Migrants & refugees after being displaced by capitalist wars, climate change, or exploitation, forming solidarity, and starting uprisings in detention centers.
• Honest priests and monks who reject consumerism and greed, honoring the original values of their faith that denounced power and money.

So, for me it's very strange to see the "punk" being at the center of this very complex class conflict, I mean anyone would literally be a better candidate to be the face of the resistance rather than: a pissed off teenager that spends his day smoking weed, drinking, swearing too much because he feels like it makes him more formidable, beating up homeless people and speeding on motorcycles, dressing up in edgy and intentionally provocative ways (which I think is cool but still), fighting other similar gangs for no reason at all, listen to loud music that most people dislike, graffiti streets and ofc doing pity crimes, then running away from the cops. It seems like they hurt the average person why more than they hurt the institution that hurt them and the rest of us.

Why the fuck did we choose them to be the face of a genre that's about resisting capitalism? And won't any other revolutionary archetype be a better choice?

My last post was well received, so thought I’d share another! Thank you so much to everyone who supported my last piece and those who have reached out for commissions! I am still open for commissions if you have a project you’d like to create!

This is one of the most captivating and the most haunting psychological science-fiction genre, if you like both horror and tech theme. then you will also like this too.

Massively influenced by Sergi Brosa's work, clearly!

This is a fantastic analysis of the franchise Ghost in the Shell, The Synthetic Age, and Cyberpunk 2077. Definitely worth of your time.

Creepy isn't it :)
