Cyberpunk is a volatile thing. Conceived in a time of growing corporate power, technological advancement, and social turmoil, cyberpunk was largely concerned with a dystopic vision of the future where “progress” had overwhelmed our ability to contain it. So what does it look like in a world where those concerns have arguably come to fruition?
This is what Dex comes into. Following in the template of the genre, Dex presents a messy world of hacking, conspiracy, and urban decay. It has an obvious reverence for cyberpunk, to the point where it makes a point to straight up call residents of its world “cyberpunks”. In a way, that is indicative of the tone throughout, a straightforward, obvious allusion to its predecessors.
