Kind of on topic but I saw a YT video recently about how cyberpunk look needs to be updated to the Middle East (UAE and Saudi) because the Tokyo impression war when Japan was leading tech forward and even the characters were very Asian. And today it can be argued Dubai is closer. A lot of Chinese cities defeat the argument but it’s interesting thoughts

Interesting, the idea that Japan is the cutting edge like you see in lots of the older stuff doesn't age well, though I'm pretty good at stepping back and just accepting it for what it is/was. (like fax machines being pretty front-and-center in, was it Neuromancer?) I do want some new stuff to read, but it's been so long, I should go back and read the classics again.
