For an awful lot of people, the past few years have sucked eggs. It’s not been the worst era in history. We’ve not had any world wars, major nuclear incidents or asteroid impacts. And the Coronavirus outbreak with which the world has been wrestling since January doesn’t compare to the 1918 flu pandemic or the black death.

What Is Cyberpunk? A Neon City In The Rain? The scene opens on a rainy, smog-shrouded, hypercapitalist, neon, surveillance state and the viewer is dropped in without context. There’s an inciting incident to plunge you into the story, and you, the viewer, are gripped for the next two hours.

I want a dog as much like my current dog as possible, so it’s an option to get his genes sampled and find out exactly what blend of the 57 varieties he actually is.
