    Cyberpunk 2077 Timeline EXPLAINED! The World Of Cyberpunk 2077 (Cyberpunk Lore)
    The Cyberpunk world started to change all the way back in the 1800's with key characters being born. These character don't play a part in Cyberpunk 2077 but they do play a big part in the family names. E.g. Sasai Arasaka was born in the 1859 who later created the company Arasaka. The same thing happened in the Cyberpunk timeline throughout the 1900's with other key character being born, In the late 1900's things really started to change which altered the course of the world for it to be the world of cyberpunk.
    This is the whole Cyberpunk 2077 timeline, the history of cyberpunk, going through all the cyberpunk 2077 details that can show you how the world developed. This cyberpunk video should help you understand the cyberpunk 2077 lore.

Mike is not a writer, his career started as a Video Game designer in the early 80s. He migrated to the Tabletop scene in 84 and published the first edition of Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk 2013 in 1988. So yes, it started as a tabletop, not a book, it started in 1988 and became popular with the second edition in 1990, Cyberpunk 2020.

      @@fjjwfp7819 In China, industries and services are run by corporations, and the workers have no control over the capital (the tools used to produce wealth, or "the means of production"). They may not have a completely free market, but a free market is not necessary for a country to be capitalist. When the capital is controlled by an owner class (people whose income comes primarily from owning capital) that is separate from the working class (people whose income comes primarily from wage labor), you have capitalism.
      In free market capitalism, the owners of capital compete to profit more than each other. In the Chinese system, they tend to work together through the state to increase profit overall. Either way, the wealth mostly ends up in the hands of the owner class even though it was produced through the labor of the working class.

For good or bad I've been around long enough to see much of Gibson's world come to pass.

      1984 is more of a thought process on how to create the perfect immovable societal structure. 1984 teaches a lot about propaganda techniques, and they are, in some form, in every country in the world. China for instance: cult of personality, intended absolute control of every citizen, government control of information for the masses. In my democratic country, the status quo is maintained by cahoots with the second most voted party. If you recall in 1984 governments had different names but they were actually all the same. Simples points in the book that mirror society everywhere. They all mirror the current situation in some way. But they are warnings, asking people to question their current rights and the dangers of mass opressive colectives such as monopolies/oligopolies or governments. I don't agree that one single book mirrors our world better. However, I agree some of the bests what ifs are from Philip K Dick, however (if you think that, I mean)

    I appreciate the effort this most have required; it does give an overview but I feel like it's more difficult to keep up with than it needs to be. Because you are basically running through bulletpoints, the overall timeline is not that easy to understand or keep track of. I think it would help a lot with the structure of your video(s) if you used "chapters": basically bulletpoints with subpoints. Introduce the chapter/subsection. After running through one chapter, summarize it. Doing this and then summarizing the whole thing helps a lot, as it allows us to connect things back to a general structure. A visual timeline with the most important events would also have helped. Just my two cents, merely tips that you'll probably never see 😂
