I was referring to cyberpunk as a genre and theme, I remembered some things after reading this post like shadowrun, cyberpunk ttrpg, Gibson's books, system shock, etc.

Yeah, I just tend to think of that stuff as corporate feudalism. And I learned that concept from playing shadowrun as a kid and then getting into other cyberpunk stuff.

And yeah, it seems to be the direction we are headed. Elon musk is a fan of blade runner and I don't think he identifies with the poor people but the rich CEO.
