We are a journal of observations, analysis, and projection. It is an ongoing examination of how our present environment resembles cyberpunk architecture. We begin not in a dystopic future but in the present moment: cell phones illuminate our faces in the dark, algorithmic feeds direct our attention, and elegant technology operates beneath failing infrastructure.
It is a study of convergence, not an homage to a genre. John Neon connects the aesthetics and storytelling of cyberpunk media with today’s headlines, consumer behavior, and design culture. Whether examining algorithmic bias in entertainment or unpacking the logic of surveillance urbanism, we use cyberpunk as a framework, not fantasy. It is a tool for deciphering a world already veined with neon circuitry.
The writing here resists nostalgia. It asks what it means to live inside the futures fiction once warned us about—and what it means to build within them. John Neon is for readers who sense the edges fraying, who want to understand the mechanisms beneath the surface, and who know the future isn’t waiting.
It shimmers at the margins—embedded in routine, disguised as progress. From within these moments of emergence, we trace the edges of a future unfolding quietly, already entangled with the present.
