We’re working with a them of Tech Noir in ds106 this semester, and as I mentioned before, we can’t really expect the class to know what we’re talking about, so Jim and I recorded a half-hour discussion which hopefully brings some clarity. We discuss meanings, themes and history, where we are and where we may want to go.
We have a list of Tech Noir/Cyberpunk media to help people get familiar. Is there anything that should be added?
There are some great video games worth a mention
Cyperpunk 2077 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_2077
Watchdogs (1 and 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_Dogs
I particularly loved the Deadsec broadcasts in Watchdogs

@grantpotter @phb256 That one is so deeply disturbing, a whole new gritty, corporal take on the cyborg—-almost like a Japanese take on Cronenberg

@grantpotter @phb256 I missed that one, which is pretty brilliant Miles got into that a bit. Even those Batman Arkham games had both the noir and the tech for surveillance and beyond. The fighting mechanics were also great, so yet another one!
