Eighteen months in the making, and 1,400+ hours of research, writing, recording, AI-upscaling, animating, sourcing and editing later, the anticipated Part 3 of my cyberpunk documentary miniseries is here!
THE EVOLUTION OF CYBERPUNK covers novels, comics, animation, television, film, games, philosophy, hacking, VR, simulation theory and The Matrix phenomenon. Learn about the second trilogy from cyberpunk author William Gibson: Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties, and discover the brilliant satire and criticism of modern America in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
Jack in to cyberspace with the origins of hacker culture, its impact on us during the advent of the internet, and how that informed our worldview of the information superhighway, and films such as The Net, Hackers and Johnny Mnemonic. What inspired us to invest so much into virtual reality, from the Virtual Boy, to injecting VR cameos into movies and shows like Serial Experiments Lain, Wild Palms, The Lawnmower Man, and others? And how did monumental video games such as System Shock, System Shock 2 and Bioforge influence us as players?
For the send-off, how did philosophy and existentialism surmount in such treasures as Philip K. Dick's novels and research, eXistenZ, Dark City, The Thirteenth Floor, and most notably of all, The Matrix? In summary, we will try to answer the eternal question, "Are we living in a computer simulation?".

@MenaceInc As is the case with all greek words that have been "englishized", I'd argue it doesn't really matter because the pronunciation is unavoidably way off anyway (although evangelion specifically is almost 100% pronounced as it is in greek). I mean "galaxy", which you use as an example, is very different than the original greek word and the letter "γ" isn't even pronounced in English. So yeah, whatever.

One thing i noticed or realised after watching all three parts is that the reason why cyberpunk genre is so fascinating is that it caters to most of our deepest and darkest fantasies while also serving as reminder of what ramifications these desires can lead to. The knowledge of these two things, which is the underlying message in everything you mentioned in this series is what keeps us from completely surrendering to technology.

While it bums me out that Part 4 won't be coming out this year, and with the looming issue of the longer it's delayed, the more mention-worthy cyberpunk stuff comes out and makes the prospective length of the series longer (Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners, Midjourney and the AI art scene, Zucc's Metaverse, Saudi Arabia's The Line, etc.), I would still like to express you to take your time with this project. While it is indeed disappointing that the viewership count of the three parts have declined rather dramatically, and work on the series being extremely time-consuming, please know that there are hundreds of thousands of us who will always tune into Part 4 no matter when it is released.

@Indigo_Gaming Жыл бұрын

I know some people are disappointed, but it wouldn't be fair to myself or my audience to work on the next part until I'm passionate about it. These three episodes took a lot out of me, but I'm not concerned about more "cyberpunk" coming out and lengthening the runtime. My original plan was to cover up through 2020, with maybe a footnote here or there. History is a lot clearer when you aren't currently living it, so making some grand statements about Mark Z's metaverse or NFTs are almost certainly going to be very dated in a few years.

I haven’t watched Hackers since the early 2000s. This video convinced me to watch it again

SNOW CRASH !!!! love that Stephenson is getting some of his due, despite the inanity of fb going Meta. i remember watching The Thirteenth Floor and Dark City in theatres and walking out of each one being gobsmacked. and then The Matrix came out lol. also kudos for featuring a bunch of Canucks (not generally cyberpunk celebres), from Godfather Gibson himself, to Front Line Assembly on the music side, to Keanu and Carrie-Anne on the acting front, and Steve Skroce for the Matrix storyboards. also David Cronenberg and Bill Shatner ;)

Gibson is a Canuck convert, but I guess that still counts.

VRChat is closer to the metaverse than fb is, using the name or even getting more users (if they ever do) means little.

This is my favourite part yet! The hard work shows Indigo, you should be very proud. Watching this, it's quite astounding to me how much Cyberpunk has influenced my life through the entertainment media I was introduced to growing up in the 90s, and later taking part in both the electronic music movement, experiencing the evolution of fps games, and being blown away when I saw The Matrix in the cinema for the firs time.

Three parts in and I’m still bowled over by the staggering amount of work and research that goes into each episode. As always, my hats off to Indigo Gaming for this wonderful series. Anyone asks me why I love Cyberpunk, I’ll redirect them to this channel.

This has been absolutely amazing. I had no idea just how much of recent culture was inspired by the cyberpunk theme overall. Aside from the amazing production and text - your voice's cadence, inflections, timbre and the high quality of the recording makes this series all the more...breathtaking. Thank you for doing this, it may be studied by our descendants sometime in the future :))

That was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely the definitive guide on Cyberpunk, it's influences, history and affect on modern day society. I'll be saving this one to my personals list to watch in 10 to 15 years from now to see how much closer we've come.
