THE EVOLUTION OF CYBERPUNK covers novels, comics, animation, television, film, games, philosophy, hacking, VR, simulation theory and The Matrix phenomenon. Learn about the second trilogy from cyberpunk author William Gibson: Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties, and discover the brilliant satire and criticism of modern America in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. Jack in to cyberspace with the origins of hacker culture, its impact on us during the advent of the internet, and how that informed our worldview of the information superhighway, and films such as The Net, Hackers and Johnny Mnemonic. What inspired us to invest so much into virtual reality, from the Virtual Boy, to injecting VR cameos into movies and shows like Serial Experiments Lain, Wild Palms, The Lawnmower Man, and others? And how did monumental video games such as System Shock, System Shock 2 and Bioforge influence us as players? For the send-off, how did philosophy and existentialism surmount in such treasures as Philip K. Dick's novels and research, eXistenZ, Dark City, The Thirteenth Floor, and most notably of all, The Matrix? In summary, we will try to answer the eternal question, "Are we living in a computer simulation?". 0:00 Intro 2:58 Opening Credits 3:53 GOING VIRAL 5:09 Snow Crash 12:34 Virtual Light 15:12 Idoru 16:59 All Tomorrow's Parties 19:07 Transmetropolitan 20:05 Marvel 2099 20:58 Batman Beyond 22:00 Aeon Flux 24:10 HACK THE PLANET 25:18 Phreaking 27:16 The origins of the Internet 27:32 1995 - The Year Computers Went Viral 30:39 Real-Life Hackers 32:19 Sneakers 33:44 The Net 35:18 Hackers 39:01 Johnny Mnemonic 45:42 New Rose Hotel 47:18 Serial Experiments Lain 50:17 HACKING HUMANITY 50:29 Gattaca 54:41 Bioforge 55:48 System Shock 58:43 System Shock 2 1:04:14 Heavy Metal & Movie Soundtracks 1:06:36 Industrial & Electronic Music Movement 1:10:49 Daft Punk 1:12:07 Billy Idol's Cyberpunk Album 1:14:06 REALITY, REPLICATED 1:16:01 Virtual Boy 1:16:58 VR in TV and Film 1:17:48 VR-5 1:18:50 TekWar 1:19:48 The Lawnmower Man 1:22:53 Wild Palms 1:25:52 Virtuosity 1:27:47 Strange Days 1:31:50 Nirvana (1997) 1:34:55 The X-Files 1:37:30 LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD 1:42:15 Simulacra and Simulation 1:44:17 Dark City 1:48:15 The Thirteenth Floor & Simulacron 3 1:51:49 eXistenZ 1:54:52 THE MATRIX PHENOMENON 1:56:47 Story 2:00:11 Production 2:01:47 Soundtrack 2:02:39 Inspirations 2:04:28 The Invisibles comparisons 2:05:12 Dark City comparisons 2:06:45 Philosophy 2:13:25 Simulation Theory / Nick Bostrom 2:15:30 Outro / Credits - CREDITS Additional writing by Cult of the Cyber Skull https://www.youtube.com/c/CultoftheCyberSkull Voiceover editing/mastering by Erik Peabody http://www.vikingguitar.com/ Original 3D animation for opening credits by Bojechto https://www.artstation.com/bojechto William Gibson quotes voiced by Jake Phillips https://www.fiverr.com/jacobphillip116 Additional voiceovers by Jay Myers https://www.fiverr.com/jaymyers1564 - MASTER SOURCE/CREDITS DOCUMENT (all music, footage and sources used in the making of this video): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cXU5c9NEnA30nzD60YWwIozvbYRK6a5_QDYzrF9aZzs/edit?usp=sharing Opening credits music: The Bad Dreamers - "Part Time God" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSyRn8iBkvY Licensed through FiXT Radium https://www.fixtradium.com/ https://fixtneon.bandcamp.com/track/part-time-god #cyberpunk #documentary #thematrix - PATREON ► https://www.patreon.com/IndigoGaming SUBSCRIBESTAR ► https://www.subscribestar.com/indigogaming KO-FI ► https://ko-fi.com/indigogaming TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/TheIndigoGaming LIVESTREAMS ► https://www.youtube.com/c/IndigoGamingArchive TWITCH ► http://www.twitch.tv/indigogamingchannel DISCORD ► https://discord.gg/j98gDah
