In the annals of human history, the ominous advent of nuclear weapons marked a turning point—a moment when humanity acquired the means to unleash unimaginable destruction upon itself. The inaugural nuclear weapons test in the arid expanses of New Mexico in 1945 marked the prelude to a trajectory where these weapons evolved into ever more potent instruments of devastation. Since that fateful day, the world has witnessed 2,475 nuclear detonations, with a staggering 85% emanating from the arsenals of just two nations—the United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union.

Terrence KPublished 4 months ago in FuturismKilling Technology
1. Cyberpunk "Cyberpunk" is a form of fiction given birth by the collision between societal decay and technological ascendancy. It was popular in the 1980s but still influences modern movies, television shows, comic books, and graphic novels, as well as music to a great degree. Films such as The Matrix, Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira, and newer offerings such as Cyberpunk 2077 have kept the genre alive. Its roots go back to the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, the French comic art of Moebius as exemplified in Metal Hurlant (known in America as "Heavy Metal"), and the "New Wave of Science Fiction" pioneered by writers such as J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Its aesthetic is seedy and post-modern, its world populated by hardboiled cynics, cutthroats, hackers, corporate criminals, and brutal, militarized police. And, of course, the occasional terrorist (er, perhaps "freedom fighter"?) working to bring down the oppressive, dehumanizing system wherein cyberspace (as defined by William Gibson) has become the Alcatraz of the soul.
