About half a day left on the CYBERPUNK 2020 Humble RPG Book Bundle.

Humble is offering a good deal for the money, although there’s a reason why the video game is CYBERPUNK 2077 instead of CYBERPUNK 2020. The game got dated really quickly, starting with the assumption that the Soviet Union would somehow survive and going on from there. Flipping through the various texts, I was also struck at how much better the real 2020’s environment is when compared to what 1989 thought 2020’s environment would be like. Important safety tip, kids: date your future histories so that the main events will happen after you likely die. It avoids a lot of awkwardness later.

Still, check it out.

  1. This dated-concept lag is much like “Idoru” which has nanotechnology-built cities (interesting concept) but calls online user environments MUDs. I had a flashback to the late 1990’s when I read that. Other than that, the book is quite interesting.
