In high school back 30+ years ago I was taught that they weren’t sure if it was the winners or the losers who were sacrificed. It seems and odd thing not to know if you know that someone was sacrificed.

You’re out in nature… IN AUSTRALIA! He’s risking his life being out in nature picking up garbage.

The issue I have with your reason against it being cyberpunk is that there’s nothing in cyberpunk to say that the fictional roaming nomads aren’t just mobile homeless, able to move to where the work is but never able to find enough work to settle someplace.

Cyberpunk is great for a fictional setting because it looks cool, has some slick character types, fun villains, and relatable heros… but cyberpunk is dirty, and a lot of society in these worlds have been left behind, exploited, and forgotten. I fear that some people view cyberpunk as a society to strive towards, rather than a thought experiment on what could go wrong as we shape our future.

…but it’s always at least entertaining.

Careful, that’s how I used to hear Joe Rogan described.
