      There’s a good textbook called Archaeologies of the Future by Fredric Jameson. It beyond thoroughly explains futurist and how we discuss aspects of the future. Not that you’re wondering, but he literally wrote the book on how we talk about the future from an intelligent perspective.

      This games lore has alot of parallels with our real world when it comes to technology, politics, corporatism, overconsumption of resources and the degradation of the planet and societies but also the question of what is humanity and consciousness.

    • @Nigorano
      @Nigorano 4 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      Except it isn't. Much of that lore was about the current era, and private security corporations have nowhere near even 0.1% the power of the conventional military.
      Were already in the beginning of the future lore for cyberpunk when it was first written.

    The history of Arasaka up to the end of world war two is essentially the history of Mitsubishi, and it's noticable that the Arasaka (three circular leaves on a stem) logo is remarkably similar to the Mitsubishi (three - 'mitsu' - rhomboid leaves of the Water Caltrop - 'bishi' plant) logo.

    3:40 - Saburo Arasaka had a son at 61 years old (yikes), and this son might be alive as a 97-year-old in the game? I myself would be 90 (roughly my last grandparent's age right now), in 2077. Maybe cyborg tech could keep me sharp, virile and robust too.

    "We are already living in a cyberpunk world' is one of the most misused phrases I've heard that's being handed around this year pretty commonly.
    We were always, and I repeat, always living in a cyberpunk world. It was never about the future or predicting the future, it was about the present. In fact, I'd go as far as saying most stories taking place in the future are about their respective "now". How could a writer/creator ever predict the future? they only write about what they see now. Which is why most people get it wrong.
    As William Gibson says, "The future is already here, it's just not very evenly distributed".

      They're not predicting. They're taking elements from the present and extrapolating that to a possible future. Science fiction writers have been doing this for a long, long time. Elements of the present are necessarily used because humans and their nature don't fundamentally change.
