In the Year 2021 with Johnny Mnemonic

A dangerous pandemic, a world tapped in to tech (literally), chaos among the populace… It all hits a little close to home in this William Gibson-penned cyberpunk tale of a mnemonic courier transporting valuable information.

We take a look at a 90s oddity of a film that’s found a certain cult acclaim. The movie’s approach to tech integration, race, feminism, and adaptation set the stage for our analysis—but only after we get into the what of cyberpunk.

Tune in now and join us in a darker version of 2021 with Johnny Mnemonic.
