Hi, fellow lurker here. I'm a writer and I'm looking to write an article on food in the cyberpunk world. (I've previously wrote an article about how I think we're already living in a cyberpunk world but that's a topic for for another day.) There are plenty of anime food on youtube but not cyberpunk. (I read up on kowloon wallk city resident's food habits-apparently there were no running water)

More specifically I'm curious to hear what you guys think about how food will be made and grown in this world. Will we be eating stuff out of vending machines? Are there going to be any useable soil left for us to farm in? For people who aren't living in the "rich people" zone of a cyberpuk city- will they have to grow their own food? If so what food are easy to grown in a container in a dingy apartment with no sunlight hardly? What about access to meat? In a cyberpunk world will chicken even be available or will pigeon meat become the new chicken?

Some of the food I'm thinking people will be eating plenty of in a cyberpunk world will be: Soy. because it can grow in poor soil and conditions. You can make tofu, flour, sauces, etc. Root vegetables. They're easy to grown in poor conditions. Watermellon. They can grown in poor conditions and provide fluids to the human body since I'm guessing in a cyberpunk world the water won't be safe to drink. Would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Hi guys, I run a tiny YouTube channel where I look to bridge the gap between Cyberpunk fiction and science fact. My next video is going to cover the past, present and future of synthetic pleasure robots, either physical robots or AI avatars...

I want to know if anyone here wishes to share any stories, works of fiction, or know of any interesting real life developments that circle this subject. Joi from Bladerunner 2049 is an obvious fit but I want to go as far back as Lisa from Weird Science, and even further if anyone can help. Not just females but also male with Jude Law's character in the film AI also an obvious choice.

The criteria for the video is that they have to be...

1. A character from a film, TV show, Novel or cult short stories like Minority Report, or We Can Remember it for You Wholesale.
2. The character's main purpose is fulfilling the sexual companionship of its owner and/or clients.
3. It must be a central character to the plot of the film. So Ava in Ex Machina is a good-ish example, but the dancing robots the Oscar Issac character has there in his trendy house aren't.
4. Ideally, they need to develop in an interesting way, like Dorlis in Westworld.
5. If they are a real example than they must be plausible, like Replika, or that strange DS Girlfriend game that was big in Japan a decade or so ago. Any ideas here or points in certain directions would be cool...

To get an idea about the end game for this sort of content I want to make, you can check out my channel here:-

I look forward to hearing from you, cheers!

Snow Crash got me into the genre and Waste Tide has kept me enjoying cyberpunk. It’s worth a read.

I've been thinking about making a comic book based off of the idea but I'm not sure if the two concepts can work together. The basic idea I have going is, In the future, a new material is found in California and it's all mined up, turning cali into a wasteland. I'm not sure on what that material can be, but the idea I have is for either an energy source or metals for cyberwear. I got the idea while playing fallout new Vegas one time, I can't remember when though.
