Everything in here hit me on my yearning for yet another good William Gibson(-like) book. Even the photo. Then your post began with that hilarious familiar hilariousity of daily life situations...
There was an artist who became famous on Pinterest by drawing his and his wife's (or girlfriend) daily sitcom-worthy but all too familiar experience. I was happy to meet them on a ComicCon event two years ago and I bought a signed print from them. I guess I wanted to empower them in whatever small way I could afford.
Anyway, back to Cyberpunk!
I keep telling the story of a sci-fi dedicated convention where I heard a speaker ask "Why do you think we say Cyberpunk is dead?"
He never gave the answer. I never fully abandoned thinking about it. My first guess was, every single time...
"Cause we're living it and it's no longer fiction? Cause we're past some crucial point?"
But I don't completely agree. I agree partially. We are living some cyberpunk already, where corporations are becoming the new states and where virtual reality (not that optical VR tech) becomes important.
It would be nice if more did this rather than buy from the mainstream, mass-produced pool of misery.
Maybe the punk is dead as it has passed the point of being in your face against the stream, for as you say, we are halfway there. A little more breakthrough in AI and VR/AR and things get weird very fast - especially with a handful of conglomerates only interested in extending profits calling the shots.
