I had an epiphany recently as I played my voice activated Xbox, downloaded music semi-legally to a personal data-storage device of my choosing, browsed various news sources for the latest news regarding a loosely affiliated collective of super-hackers going toe-to-toe with the best that world governments have to offer, and youdube'd video files of the latest in atmosphere skimming aircraft, cybernetic prostheses, and experimental exo-suits for proxy wars of various nation-states.

Holy s**t we're living in a cyberpunk present.

Thoughts? Comments? Spastic denials?

I think an artery in my brain ruptured while reading this...

The future is now. Now we need a term for the future of this present. I suggest either "future future" or some variant on "starchild future". Perhaps "Starfuture". "Starture"?

Holy cow, I can't force myself to read that, my eyes just slide right off.

Through the BrainWave Nexus (tm).

Which everyone has an access hat to, in the f-future.

Actually i recall this discussion dating a few years back... Some scientist from Japan claimed that we need to talk about "cyborgs", form some laws, predict a few things because quite big part of modern society is formed from augmented people. For now it's mostly prosthetic limbs and organs, but soon...

Yes, we're truly living in the reality our fathers called "SF"...
