MODERATORS
Cyberpunk fiction isn't about a hypothetical speculative future. It's an critical allegory for the issues of the present. Of course reality aligns with it when left unchanged.
Have a read of Transmetropolitan.
Hubs
Most Cyberpunk stuff was written in the late 80s / early 90s, so it's more based on the issues of that period, which is now about 40 years ago.
