Cyberspunk: Do Androids dream of electric cocks?

There was a time when people looked at future generations with envy. A soviet time capsule contained a letter to the comrades of future, with the expectation that communism would be constructed, that the Soviet people would be communicating with alien civilizations. To them, humanity would not live in fear of nuclear war, but in comfort. Were they fools to think of the future as anything other than a stillborn dream?

The year is 2075. Ocean levels have risen, states have fallen, but humanity continues on as it has. The government remains in the pockets of corporations. Workers continue their march into unsatisfying jobs. The internet was supposed to connect us, but it has in fact alienated us from each other. People identify themselves by their method of escape from this harsh reality, whether it is sex, alternate reality gaming, gambling or ****.

Corporations vie for power, squabbling for more and more control of their subjects. They have the ideology of the cancer cell: unlimited growth, and their owners have as much self-control as the addicts they create.

Just as humans wear eyeglasses, they augment their flesh with cybernetic enhancements. Their brains are loaded with programs that allow for a wireless mental connection to the internet. Those who can afford them, who have the right connections, have superhuman abilities and strength. Those who can't are left at the bottom.

Then we have androids. When humans strike, or refuse, or hesitate, the corporations find a loyal, if expensive replacement to serve their whims.

This is Sunset City.

Ignore my rambling stranger, who are you?
