The Arasaka and Militech corpo future is closer than 2077 it seems

    Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk series actually started in 1988 with the first version of the TRRPG set in 2013. Arasaka was around then. Armatech-Luccessi International, which became Militech after rebranding, was a corpo in 2013, just in a different capacity at the time.

    In 1990's Cyberpunk 2020, set in 2020, both corpos had been fully established as very powerful, separate entities.

    So, Mike's seen this coming for a while. There are so many parallels from our current timeline and the fictional one in the game, it's scary...

    Honestly, there is a big turn in sci Fi when we moved towards neoliberalism.

    It's almost like in the 70s and 80s a lot of it became dystopian or fantasy.

    Avarice as a prime motive does not make happy stories.
