Inspired by Akira, Ghost in a Shell and Neuromancer, I ask, how do cyberpunk societies come into being? What political, social and technological ideologies drive these cyberpunk worlds? 

Well, in this first part of a two-parter, I'll be diving into the world of accelerationism, tech-utopias, Nick Land & cyberpunk.

Haikoup #3 |Accelerationism And Cyberpunk Pt. 2

Just dropping by to introduce some updates for the channel going forward.

Mainly - new podcast format: Accountable power, a bi-weekly discussion on current affairs and how they interplay with power dynamics.

Secondly a new direction for the YouTube channel, where the videos will be better in quality and length. 

Follow me on twitter: @hai_koup for all updates. 

Cheers!

Haikoup Update

The new Podcast by me, Haikoup. I look at the interplay of politics, power, money and influence and how it is used against you.

Discuss: Saudis/9/11, Royal Family lobbying and Andrew, BoJo's lobbying/boys club, IPCC Report, Pegasus Wiretapping, Oz Lockdowns, Wuhan Lab Leak, and (briefly) Afghanistan...

Haikoup: Accountable Power (ep.1)

'Atomised, thinking we're engaged when we're pacified, staring at the screen so we don't have to see the planet die' - Kate Tempest

First episode. Sorry for my vocal fry and background noise. I'm learning. It should improve (slightly) after 5 or so minutes. The theme is on distraction and stimulation, a problem endemic in the modern world.
