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.

I had a ring I couldn't get off. Did the lube and string thing and didn't work.
What I did learn though is that so long as your finger is not blue, you can go to most jewelers and they can cut the ring off for you at no charge. If your finger is blue, go to the emergency room.
Had to do this for a wedding band that I had kept on for years to the point where my finger had grown larger. Tried all the DIY tricks, and they'd be close but still not enough. Finally admitted I'd have to cut it at a jewelers, was off in 30 seconds. Huge reason why I would never consider a tungsten ring. Might as well just plan a reattachment surgery.
Wait because the tungsten ring will shatter? Or because it's too tough?
I think it requires special tools to cut, and that's just machining the metal away from a finger. Maybe there's a way, but I doubt it's something any jeweler or even ER will have.
