Cloud computing is the real endgame. The big tech bros want to price consumers out of the PC hardware market (GPUs, RAM, NVMe, etc.) so they can offer a cloud solution via subscription model.

The OG film (1995), the sequel (GitS: Innocence - 2005) and the series Stand Alone Complex (2002-05) are all essentials in the genre.

Strange Days (1995). The main premise is cyberpunk as fuck, the story gets real dark and it stars Ralph Fiennes playing what is essentially a brain dance dealer. Great film.
