Today, cyberpunk is no longer a movement, but a genre or an aesthetic to pastiche, and its depiction of the feudal lord-like power of our great tech monopolies gives the audience the impression they are run by innovative, evil geniuses not unimaginative rentiers.

Its critique of capitalism came only after capital was already being transformed into the omnipotent printing press of neoliberal hegemony, and its depiction of this process not only excluded the genocidal crushing of labour power in the colonies and the legal oppression of unions in the colonisers’ homelands (with the notable exception of Blade Runner, which did not shy away from mythologising real actions being taken by imperialist countries at the time it was being produced), but also inadvertently glorified the rising political power of corporations by depicting this process as being far more interesting, far more obscure than petty bribery and the symbiotic relationship of the military-industrial complex and the market’s adoption of its technical innovation.
