I've realized it's probably impossible for Hollywood to make a Sci-fi movie these days. The current culture is actively technophobic and wants to make a story that will appeal to as many people as possible while offending nobody. Anything that might be thought provoking or futuristic will be shot down.

Holywood's idea of the future is to take the present, and then either cover everything in chrome (implying an optimistic future), or a layer of grit. (implying a dystopia)
Similarly holywood's idea of the past is to take the present and give everyone British accents and funny costumes, then film on location somewhere exotic (with all white actors). There is no interest in portraying a distinctly fantastic world.

Is cyberpunk anti-capitalist or is that the whole FIGHT DA MAN thing just the result of people watering it down?
