Reading cyberpunk lore and this piece on how US collapsed is sounding ever more true how did author predict so far into the future?https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/The_Collapse_of_the_United_States
probably because of cyberpunk realityhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Triple_Revolution
>>82689113https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Second_Central_American_WarWas the author some sort of time traveler lot of stuff he says is literally happening right at this moment
>>82689113He was wrong about the USSR/Russia becoming allied with the EU but everything else was pretty close which is understandable because I presume as an American he's more knowledgeable on his own country relative to Europe and Russia.
>>82689177That would've occurred unironically if Putin didn't invade Ukraine. If he waited another 10 yrs im sure Europe would've saw US as too unhinged to have as a partner.
>>82689113Cyberpunk is correct about alot of things mostly because it at its core is a realist retelling of modern problems and stories just 'refracted' from a different lens like for example the blackwall about how AI is melting peoples brains and fragmenting the net we probably need a blackwall eventually to keep all the AI sloppa outThe cyberpunk lore goes really deep lol DO NOT read up about who Alt Cunningham was working for when she first designed SOULKILLER
cyberpunk has fuckin kino lore, in my honest onion
>>82689283>>82689282I think author exaggerated how far US would fall like a 2/3 of population dying seems insane. And half population being illiterate plus idea states will secede as if states have a unified identity. A guy in Austin has more in common with a guy in nyc than a rural Texan.
