Cyberpunk
"High tech, low life."
"The street finds its own uses for things."
We all know the quotes and the books. But cyberpunk is more than a neon-soaked, cybernetic aesthetic, or a gritty dystopian science fiction genre. It is a subculture composed of two fundamental ideas: PUNK, and CYBER.
The PUNK: antiauthoritarian, anticapitalist, radical freedom of expression, rejection of tradition, a DIY ethic.
The CYBER: all that, but high-fuckin'-tech, ya feel? From DIYing body mods to using bleeding edge software to subvert corporate interests. It's punk for the 22nd century.
This is a community dedicated to discussing anything cyberpunk, be it books, movies, or other art that falls into the genre, or real life tech, projects, stories, ideas or anything else that adheres to these ideals. It's a place for 'punks from all over the federated Net to hang out and swap stories and meaningful content (not just pictures of city nightscapes).

I would replace any and every part of my body given that it was a meaningful upgrade. wouldn't change out my eyes for current tech, but if I could zoom in hell yeah I'd do it in a heartbeat
Imagine not only being able to zoom in, but also to see better at night. Be able to see stars and various nebulae without the use of a telescope. Also being able to see at different light wavelenghts. It would be amazing.
Add heat vision and other features while we're at it as well.
