We really do live in the cyber punk dystopia predicted. It's just way less neon lights.

Sigh... I mean... I tried. And while there is much to be said for it, there is a lot to be said against it too. It's kind of a win some lose some deal. Depends on where you live. If I was in the USA I'd fuck right off to basically anywhere, and SE Asia wouldn't be a bad bet. Thing is, they don't just accept people willy nilly. Unless you want to endure a permanent border hopping enema, you need a work visa, student visa, or retirement visa, and those all come with their own hurdles.

Good luck tho, I can def vibe with the sentiment.
