We examine cyberpunk's origins in the techno-future of the 80s, how our present reality reflects the sci-fi fears of the era, and how, though the movement was pronounced dead, it continues to evolve.\n\n This double-length Microsode was brought to you by the combined forces of Nerdy Show fans Zombiepops and Jobarda.\n\nFor links and more info, head to the main episode page:\nhttp://nerdyshow.com/2015/02/episode-207-cyberpunk/<br /><br />Learn more about your ad choices.
