What is present punk?

Hello visitors! Present punk is the idea that we are either currently living in a cyberpunk dystopia, or that we are transitioning into one.

The first purpose of this blog is to curate a collection of all the news stories today that prove this idea, from the latest corporate takeovers to the newest tech innovations.

The second purpose is to reckon with dystopia becoming true, and probe more deeply into the why’s and the what-can-we-do’s.

You can visit the about page for more information – if not, happy reading!
