The highlight might be the liner notes, which include an exhaustive syllabus of cyberpunk-adjacent cinema, here scanned for posterity. You wouldn't believe how many of these films I've seen; I can't believe how many I haven't.

Now about 40 hours deep and admittedly having a pretty good time.

Some CONTROL concept art.

Seems bad.

That trailer image of giant, chiral crystal hands in near-future Tokyo means I'll be seeing Her Private Hell.

Some cover art from 1980s Italian cyberpunk zine DECODER.

I don't need this one to be real, but I like how it looks like a Winamp skin.

Cyberpunk girls, shot by Zac Nirvana.

Ash Thorp and GxAce come through with fan-made Neuromancer teaser way more exciting than Apple's. Check it out.

Finally saw The Backrooms. I'll spare you my chopped unc opinions, but if you're looking for something similar, maybe check out Vivarium (2019). Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots play a young couple looking to take their relationship to the next level. After an unusual visit with a realtor, they find themselves trapped in an endless, eerily empty facsimile of a suburban housing development, forced to care for a child with extremely special needs. Totally committed to the bleakness of its premise, the movie is maybe the most unsettling depiction of post-natal anxiety since Eraserhead. You'll feel awful, guaranteed.
