       Has there ever been a #GhostInTheShell spinoff where the main storyline took place in the same universe but didn't focus on the Major and the Section 9 gang? 🤔I'd love to see how the homeless folks without cyberbrains we only get glimpses of experience a society where everyone who can afford it is in some sense a superhuman genius.Also would accept recommendation for #neoluddite #cyberpunk stories in general.

       @csepp iirc Tsutomu Nihei's Abara has a bit more depth in the non-superhuman characters in its environment. I've personally always just appreciated the cityscapes though

       @grumpy Hm, I've read some of Blame, I wouldn't classify it as cyberpunk, and Abara seems similar.  They are too far removed from most technological issues that are actually relevant to society.  It's also very technobabble-y.To me they feel more like... cosmic action horror science-fantasy.What I appreciated about SAC is how grounded the politics and tech was, I'm looking for something like that, but sort of viewed from the bottom of the social ladder.

       @csepp have you read Transhumanist? It's a bit more politically minded but probably more farsical than you're looking for

       @grumpy Oh heck how did I not think of Transmetropolitan.  Yup, I've read both volumes they had in the library and loved it, also took lots of notes on it.Yeah, Transmetropolitan is pretty much what I was thinking of.
