*"Everyday Cyberpunk" is probably a better everyday term than "cyberpunk social realism"

*But, well, one is a term-of-art about writing books, while the other is about being blown to pieces in a jungle by some wicked thing buzzing overhead

As Everyday Cyberpunk a chart as you're likely to see.

Economist chart titled "Suddenly, drones", monthly air and drone strikes in Colombia by rebel groups (the majority), political militias, state forces and "other". The strikes are fewer than one a month on average from 2021 to mid 2024, at which point they spike, with 23 in October(ish) 2025 alone.

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be
mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰
