As someone who has spent their fair share of days in Vancouver, it blows my mind during some wet early mornings, that this city was where cyberpunk's cradle could be considered, where Gibson wrote Neuromancer. The rain, the grit, the grey, all shared across time and space and pages, and in between each of them, glimpses of the future. It's something about the genre that delights my sense of wonder, of who we as a species have come from and where we're going.

I didn’t realize the Neuromancer was written in Vancouver!
There’s a less well know cyberpunk adjacent TV show, Continuum, that’s set in Vancouver, year 2077 and all that :) It’s surprisingly good!

I really enjoyed continuum and felt that the last season was a bit abrupt leaving a lot unexplored.
I still imagine a halo device from that show that i think would do well to be made, I imagine a garmin/iwatch on , completes lifestyle and healthcare needs and on steroids that also replaces smart phones
