RE: On our way to Smart Cities
Oh I will get it now. I loved that series when I was a child (I was very enthusiastic about the UFO affair).
As a filmmaker, it's always amazing for me how one can explore deep questions about reality through fictional stories. That's what the cyberpunk movement is for me: an exploration about our future conditions in a high-tech world.
Cyberpunk was just an art (literary, cinematographic) movement, but the more we face these new conditions, the more it becomes a social movement that describes our human situation.
Distopy (anti-utopy) is important, to know what we have to avoid. Orwell, Huxley...
I like cyberpunk-style drawings.
May find this episode on pahe.in
I got it today by torrent. It was amazing! I completely loved it.
Now I want to research whether that first part (the story about the Twitter bot) is real or not. Maybe it's funny, but I noticed a kind of political SJW speech in that introduction of the chapter. Perhaps that's the stand of the director and writers.
