Will 221 be a year of cultural explosion in Cyberpunk?

maybe. Cyberpunk is really trendy, but it is more than just a "trend". As a subculture that is approaching popularity at present, Cyberpunk must have its deep value orientation. In Longya's understanding, Cyberpunk is "the hypothesis of the fall of science and technology". The first hypothesis means science fiction. If it is fantasy, it is fantasy or myth. For Cyberpunk's understanding, the focus should be on "the fall of science and technology".

Science and technology is the primary productive force and the core driving force to promote the change of social form. Since entering the 21st century, the life changes brought by the development of science and technology are changing with each passing day. From the bits and pieces of daily life, we can clearly feel the power of science and technology. Here, we can take the most familiar games as an example:

It is only a short development course of more than 2 years from Contra, which we were keen on as a child, to VR games, which are gradually popularized today. The holographic game depicted in light novels and cartoons is no longer an unrealistic fantasy, and we are now at the arrival node of the 5G era. Maybe when we wake up, we will find that the world has changed greatly before we know it, so all this is the power of science and technology.

As a member of modern civilization, we have always believed that science and technology will lead mankind to a bright future, and sooner or later, controlled nuclear fusion will be developed, flying out of the earth and into the universe. But beyond the beautiful fantasy, we can also make a reasonable illusion that "the fall of technology" means that technology has led mankind into a Bad End.
