I've been following Gibson for a couple of years and it never ceases to surprise me how much of a lib the father of cyberpunk is. And people were going "it's such a politically radical genre" when that video game came out.
At least in all the cyberpunk stuff Ive consumed the radicalism seems confined to just observations that boil down to "the world sucks, capitalism and greed is evil" in various forms, and thats perfectly fine for capitalists, you can think capitalism sucks as much as you want, as long as you dont think theres a viable and preferable alternative. It's just a lot of fetishization of a personal or subcultural sense of radicalism and glorifying small symbolic victories that are somehow meant to prove some moral point.
The radical solution always either boils down to "upload oneself to the matrix (transhumanism) and live happily ever after" or "never touch the matrix again (primitivism) and live happily ever after". 😂
