focus on cyber over punk, embrace ridiculous 80s sensibilities of technology and and fashion, and stop worrying so much about fitting in, especially since the 80s were about standing out

>how do we "fix" cyberpunk
Have a setting that isn't the same Bladerunner-esque city with Japanese street sights, rain, etc.

Gimme Snow Crash-esque America for a change.

Isn't China headed for an even more extreme population implosion than Japan?

>>50907459
They're headed for an economy implosion that'll make the GFC look like Obama lost a $20 by comparison.

So, yeah, probably going to be some shit happening in China soon.

Maybe we'll even get to see Soros profiteer off it, exacerbating the political side of the situation even further.

Anon, what if I tell you that Benedictine monks are so fucking rare IRL, even in catholic countries, that you are literally more likely to meet a Tibetian Buddhist monk?

Alternatively, you are too young to understand why they show up in cyberpunk literature and other members of any organised religion don't

In Shadowrun the Catholic Church is an incredibly powerful organisation with their own special forces and shadowrunners, as well as one of the most powerful magical locations on the planet. The Vatican is an almost unbreakable stronghold due to how much it enhances Christian Thaumaturgy..
