The future has imploded into the present
With no nuclear war, a new battlefield is on people's minds and souls
Mega-corporations are the new governments;
Computer-generated info domains are the new frontiers
And though there is better living through science and chemistry
We are all becoming cyborgs
The computer is the new cool tool
And though they say all information should be free
It is not
Information is power and currency in the virtual world we inhabit
So mistrust authority
Cyberpunks are the true rebels;
Cyberculture is coming in under the radar of ordinary society...
An unholy alliance of the tech world and the world of organized dissent
Welcome to the Cyber Corporation...
...Cyberpunks
