>tfw ywn live in a dystopian cyberpunk society
Where should I move just to experience a similar lifestyle?
Hong Kong is a shit place to live but has that feel so there you go

What about Shanghai?
Any Asian city will work.
>>30011734
Taipei and Hong Kong will suffice. Man I miss Taipei

Does it rain a lot in those places?
I've been living in Istanbul and it's pretty cyberpunk too, specially the financial area at night is amazing.
I wish I could have been there while the failed coup d'etat happened. Must be amazing watching the tanks go through the streets while military jets and helicopters fly over the city.
cyberpunk cities would be terrible to live in and you're super rich so you never have to go to the 'bottom levels' and you commute by a personal vtol aircraft/SSTO.
I'd rather live in some grassland where I can look at the city from afar.

If you think Istanbul is dystopian cyberpunk then I have news for you, buddy.
>>30012313
Have you been there?
>inb4 I'm a turkroach living there

I remember seeing this picture quite a few years ago when I was 13 and being completely transfixed. Weird but I couldn't imagine a place like this existing. The funny thing is, this uh... boy... I had a crush on had lied and said he was born in Istanbul (he's fucking white and Australian, why did I believe this) and so for the period of time I was a dummy and believed him the whole city had an incredible aura of wonder for me.
:(
Robots, do you think we will ever live to see a cyberpunk future? What do you think big cities will look like in 50 years time?

You already do. take a good strong look at the world around you. ANY first world city now is going to be a surveillance state. Some more than others. London is famous as generally regarded as being the worst for it's CCTV.

YOU'RE LIVING IN ONE RIGHT NOW. OPEN YOUR DAMNED EYES.
>>30012674
Sadly, no. Cities won't grow that much in our lifetime. Maybe 2 or 3 skylines more in some major cities and that's all.
Remember that we are in a global recession and the situation doesn't look like it's gonna improve. Maybe politics change to a dystopian scenario but cities, not likely.
>>30012850
Truth. About the only way to escape is to go rural or third world where they don't care enough/can't afford the surveillance infrastructure....and even then you're still monitored by telecommunications tech (internet/phone/satellite).

Why are you tinfoil autistic fucks so obsessed with surveillance? I don't fucking care if some people knows which are my fetishes even better than myself. Who cares if they sell my personal information, you can't avoid it anyway.
Hong Kong or Japan for aesthetic.
UK or US for dystopian themes.
It's all happening now, look around you.
>>30013050
UK or US dystopian? wtf are you retarded?
>>30011734
america lel.
>>30013126
I love the US man. I love the freedoms we used to have and the fact that we're on camera from all angles and all your Internet browsing activity is monitored, too. I love all the power that voting has and the power that money doesnt
>>30013026
First off, I'm not an autist. Second, it's not that I'm obsessed, it that I simply don't have my head up my ass. I can observe the world, I can be a part of it, and I can learn about it all the while making my own conclusions about it.
Right now I see some kids whining about wanting something they already have. All I have done is state an obvious truth.
Whatever, if all you folks really care about is pretty night time lights to look at, watch this Cappuccino run around the Shutokou.

There are far worse places. I can think of a few not too far away in mainland China.

This, it's true. Look at our governments, big corporations, technology everywhere, etc
But people won't have it because everywhere doesn't look exactly like the movie Blade Runner.
>>30011734
Tokyo is the most mainstream but any Asian city. Holy in te. Years would do
>>30013794
Yeah; the only reason flying cars aren't everywhere is because they're ungodly impractical. They're loud, you technically need both pilot's and driver's license, they eat fuel like a helicopter, they have to be in tip-top mechanical condition so as not to fall out of the sky, they're a huge conundrum as far as flight regulations/traffic law/city ordinances intertwine... But they do exist.

It's going to be a long while before it's anything more than a rich person's toy.
>>30012850
This guy has it right. Nobody's got exposed metal on their skin but everything else happened in the worst possible way.
