Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

It's got Jared Leto. Best wet can hope for is "It's Tronning time!"
Time to Boycott it then. Leto is walking-talking Rancid Sewage. Fuck that asshole!
He appears to be the hero of it as well. Maybe if he was a cameo a la Brad Pitt in Deadpool, but beyond that I’m out.
For the best.
I don't know what dirt Leto has on the Hollywood execs, but that's the only reason I can fathom for him getting these central roles after shitty film on shitty film.
With his little cult thing he has, I’ve always figured execs just fawn all over him as being the coolest kid in school. I think it’s some gross combination of that and what you said. It sounds like all of his ‘method acting’ stunts make him unbearable to work with too, so it just makes no sense. I can’t remember what he actually said but whenever this was getting filmed I saw something jeff bridges said about him and it amounted to the Dude’s version of bless his heart. Nothing bad, but his entire description of working with him was like ‘he’s out there man’ or something.
