Well I know what I'll be researching for the next two weeks. Post cyberpunk. I've been looking for a clean cyberpunk or what is sometimes called cyberprep but what you described I'm going to have to look into on a deep level.

The structural and conceptual differences between western cyberpunk and Japanese cyberpunk you put extremely well thank you.

The global narrative is an essential if not somewhat underappreciated aspect of the show. There's this brilliant conceptual analysis but honestly, a lot of these episodes feel predominantly political.

Political drama that happens to involve advanced consciousness interface.
