Basically a question on what makes the mood and breaks it. Some common pitfalls that takes the story out of the territory are appreciated.
Here's my general thoughts on this area.... * The usual Techno-shock: I think it goes without saying the very nature of cyberpunk is that technology has not improved life in the world but has done either made it worse or just created new problems. * The Rich and Poor Divide: Always important to keep in the sense of the planet. * Screwed up Heroes: Case, Molly, Deckard, and the like all are suffering greatly in their own particular way. When you remove the dysfunctionality from the setting you lose something. like bruce wayne, no one will ever be entirely happy. |
