Re: What do you want to have a resurgence of popularity?

[ariakas]

I think it'd be difficult to bring back because it is so relevant - so near future as to be tomorrow, not 20-40 years from now as it was in the 80s and 90s. That removes some of the sci-fi, and a lot of the wonder and terror. You'd have to push it further along, explore some new paradigm.

Almost Human is pretty much literally 80s cyberpunk, but it comes of as campy more than anything else, 1) because "artificial intelligence becomes sapient - robots/cyborgs have feelings just like us!" while one of the oldest and most cherished tropes of the genre has been ridden into the ground so hard it's neither surprising nor particularly interesting for the audience, and 2) it posits the future as a crime-ridden hellhole (with cyborgs and all powerful corporations) when we now know what actually happened is that violent crime rates have plummeted.
