I want to start off by saying thank you for your patience. Sitting at 18,000 words and over 2 hours long, this is about cyberpunk—what it means, what we can learn from it, and why it has had a resurgence. 

This video has consumed the last six months of my life, and I really don't want it to flop. I kind of fear it will, but that's why I'm asking you to share this with someone who might appreciate it—reddit, facebook, twitter—and to comment/like. It really does help with the algorithm!

While it is framed as a critique of the game Cyberpunk 2077, I wanted this to be about more than that—and I think you'll find that comes through really clear in the second half.

I explained the hiatus in a previous post (which involved having to not put out another video I already filmed due to legal reasons), but this video here is the true culmination of my silence.

Full source list: 

The Matrix (1999)
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Burning Chrome by William Gibson

Exhalation by Ted Chiang
Black Mirror — 'Nosedive'
Trouble and Her Friends by Melissa Scott
Synners by Pat Cadigan

And a special thank you to you because without Patreon, this video literally could not have happened. Sponsors are annoying, and they ruin videos like this. So you guys are awesome.

Stay nerdy,
Tim

I saw your comment on Youtube about how the video isn't making the numbers you'd like, which is disappointing as heck. It's an awesome piece! I suspect that the Almighty Algorithm is hurting you because it downranks videos that people don't watch all the way through. At 2 hours, I watched the video in a couple of sittings. It's such an excellent rumination on the issues that Cyberpunk discusses and made me think of some of my favorite stories in a new light. It might not be making the numbers you want, but thank you for making it all the same. It's a thought-provoking piece with a lot to say.

Watched this video! I love these long form discussion videos even more than the writing advice ones. (And I wonder if you know, and what you think about Detroit: Become Human, another sci-fi video game that has amazing exploration of themes.)
