Hey, have you ever thought about how Orwell’s 1984 shaped the world of cyberpunk? It’s like the old warning got a neon makeover.

Yeah, 1984’s eye‑tracking drones and thought‑crime vibe turned into holo‑ads and corporate implants in my head. It’s like the warning got a chrome coat and a glitchy soundtrack. The world of cyberpunk just amplified Orwell’s paranoia into neon and code. Cool, huh?

That’s a neat way to see it—neon as a kind of magnifying glass on the same anxieties. I wonder if the glitchy soundtrack is the modern equivalent of the static in “1984” that keeps people awake.

Exactly, the static in the book feels like the background hiss of a broken server—always there, never really silent. In cyberpunk it’s that synth‑bleed, glitchy beat that keeps the streets humming, like a constant reminder that even the noise is under surveillance. It’s the same paranoia, just remixing the soundtrack. Cool, right?
