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.

MODERATORS
If bias is obvious, and it constitutes fraud, a decision in arbitration can be vacated by courts.
If bias is clear during proceedings, the arbitrator can be challenged, then a new independent arbiter can be selected.
While its bullshit that this kind of stuff gets shoved into EULAs, its not the end of things in terms of getting an appropriate outcome.
And thats a massive onus on the claimant.
