Cyberpunk Documentary: More Than Just a Game

Cyberpunk: the dark dystopian future, the corrupt corporations, futuristic technology, flying cars, robots, cybernetic enhancements, hackers, late stage capitalism, evil asians, neon lights, and a gritty criminal underworld. High Tech, low life, and of course, Keanu Reeves.

Cyberpunk is a genre that has always been one of my favorites. But how did it start? And... why are there so many Asians?
