NOTE

Embrace Caution Over Innovation

Building the future without considering the lessons of the past can lead to detrimental outcomes, as exemplified by the cautionary tale of Frankenstein. The narrative warns against the reckless creation of technology without community engagement or ethical reflection. Notably, many contemporary creators misinterpret the essence of science fiction, particularly cyberpunk, viewing it as an endorsement for unchecked innovation rather than a warning for its consequences. It is crucial to recognize that responsibly shaping the future involves a dialogue with society, rather than a solitary pursuit of technological advancement.
