Cyberpunk Dystopias in Real Time: Hong Kong #cyberpunk

As any fan of cyberpunk fiction is undoubtedly aware, the tech-saturated, semi-autonomous city of Hong Kong was a significant inspiration to first-wave cyberpunk authors.

Here is Hong Kong today. In this series of dramatic, disturbing photos, taken of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill protests last year by French photographer Rémy Soubanère, show a dystopian HK that even the original cyberpunk Fab 4 (Gibson, Sterling, Shirley, Rucker) might not have been able to imagine.

See the complete series on Rémy’s website.

Here is the latest on the situation in Hong Kong.
