Strictly speaking, this modern world is a Cyberpunk setting; it’s filled with powerful Mega-Corps, cybernetic prosthetics, deadly hackers, pollution and a cyberspace network that influences everything. At the same time, this reality is missing a few key stylistic touches: the neon lighting, ’80s hairstyles, cranial head-jacks, street samurai and punk rebels against an uncaring system. The upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, under development by CD Projekt Red (The Witcher franchise) seeks to embrace and update these stylings, immersing players into the role of V, a cyberpunk mercenary trying to make it big in a city of crime, cyborgs and deadly hackers....

This led to yearly sequels, though Wan declined to return while Whannell wrote parts two and three....

Anime always has been a breathtaking and impressive animation genre, but it’s taken some phenomenol pioneers to make it such a powerhouse. One of those pioneer series was Death Note, based on a manga of the same name. The story follows super-genius Light Yagami and what he does with the power to end the life of anyone in the world.

Privacy used to be considered a concept generally respected in many countries with a few changes to rules and regulations here and there often made only in the name of the common good. SEE: Meet the hackers who earn millions for saving the web, one bug at a time (cover story PDF) (TechRepublic) Things have changed, and not for the better.
