Demolition Man takes place in a world with a large income gap, where the rich (or at least the middle class) live on the surface while the poor (or at least those wanting to be “free”) live underground. And there’s a lot of futuristic tech involved (like cyber sex!). But this is primarily a story about political correctness in a police state and it doesn’t include any all-powerful corporations (aside from Taco Bell, of course). So what do you think? Do you consider Demolition Man to be cyberpunk?
Here’s a trailer. It isn’t streaming anywhere right now though.
High tech low life. Cyberpunk doesn’t have to be a commentary on mega corps. Haven’t seen the movie but it sounds like it handles a tyrannical regime based on what you said paired with advanced tech and a lack of humanity.
