The series is set in a Blade Runner like atmosphere and discusses ideas like re-incarnation by technology. There is also an upper class / lower class conflict involved, which could be interpreted as techno-magicians or gods representing the upper class living above the city, in the clouds.

It plays with a slot of symbols and allusions, the following screenshots have been taken during the first episode.

It's funny, I wondered when the mainstream media was going to start latching onto cyberpunk. My prediction has been for a while that cyberpunk stories and imagery would start to replace superheroes as the next big genre craze. I might be wrong, but we'll see.

This post clearly took a lot of work on your part, and it's insightful. Go you

My prediction has been for a while that cyberpunk stories and imagery would start to replace superheroes as the next big genre craze.

I would appreciate that. Good cyberpunk presents not only broken or dislodged personalities, but a broken story line, appearing to be cheap or flashy or overdone, but in truth being very insightful. Not sure if this is fit for mainstream consumption --- or appreciation.

Visual effect are sometimes clearly overdone, less moving and shiny lights in the background would have been better.

But all in all, someone captured what Cyberpunk is about. A dedicated person. IMHO.
