Episode 78: Cyberpunk 2077

The History Respawned Podcast

John welcomes Professor Andre Sorensen to talk about Night City, the setting to CD Projekt Red's mammoth, ambitious - and troubled - follow-up to The Witcher 3. We talk about the setting as an urban dystopia, the historic notion of the city as a corrupting influence, and why Tokyo - or an imagined version of Tokyo - represents the future in so much speculative fiction.
