Once you find you can't walk
as far and as fast as you were able, life becomes more complicated.
Robert Sheckley
Never send a human to do a machine's job.
The Matrix
Cyberpunk deals increasingly with madness, more precisely with the
most philosophically interesting phenomenon of madness:
hallucination. (derangement)
"Cyber" and "punk" - the ideal post-modern couple: a machine
philosophy that can create the world in its own image and a
self-mutilating freedom, that is that image snarling back.

A lot of us don't want to be
quite that serious about world problems. Our life is there to enjoy,
not to be an eternal dissident, eternally unhappy with how things
are and with the state of mankind.

commodities, a place where infinite sub-cultures and mind cults live

irony.
The Matrix
The technical revolution reshaping our society is based not in
hierarchy but in decentralization, not in rigidity, but in fluidity.
