I'd say it's more c/BoringDystopia
I have to fullheartily disagree! From my point of view this is an exciting dystopia - the same way Russian roulette is "exciting".
I wouldn't have thought that we as species speedrun the shadowrun tech dystopia in addition to the expected corporate oligarchy one - on not, not instead!
This feels like doing 200mph on a highway and someone telling me that they now can - and in fact started to - alter my breaks on the fly. "boring" just doesn't cut it anymore for me.
Fair dues
