low trust economy is basically techno fascism. This is what a pre-cyberpunk distopia looks like, and while the first impacts appear towards progress, it's unlikely going to be about progress but cementing the technocrats and oligarchs.
I don’t think we need to use the pre prefix anymore. This is legit with all hallmarks.
Well, there arnt yet the cyber punks so ill keep the pre.
Don't let them take the work cyberpunk, they dont deserve it, we can just call it technocratic dystopia and be fine.
There is an old Charlie Chaplin movie about turning factory workers into an extension of machines.
If an app pretty much tells you how to do your job there's no place for personal expression and you become a zombie.
