Glasses/contact lenses, pacemakers, insulin pumps, cochlear implants, prosthetic limbs.

Some stuff does help us and isn't done purely for evil. It is the monkey murdering brain chips you gotta worry about. And maybe some of the listed stuff being taken over by monopolistic corporations like the glasses industry.

It's “a” step, not “the next” step. Evolution has no direction except “different”.

Transhumanism is a big theme in Cyberpunk, it just doesn't necessarily mean that Cyberpunk is correct about how common voluntary cybernetic augmentations, genetic engineering and the like are going to be.

Yeah theres no fucking way I'm ever getting body mods, even if they come out

I would rather not have to charge my fucking limbs

Cyberpunk is a genre beyond the game.

Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson's "Neuromancer"

It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game

The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine "Cyberpunk" work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than "Cyberpunk 2077"

(William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)
