Does anyone remember cyberpunkreview.com ? If so, does anyone know who Mr. Roboto actually was? :P
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

I used to be active on there. At the time I think it was the most active cyberpunk forum on the internet. But even then I don't think anyone new who Mr. Roboto was. I remember he disappeared for over a year but the forum was still active for awhile without him. No one knew how to contract him back then either. Then the forum finally died and people tried moving to cyberpunkforums.com as a replacement but I don't think it ever really took off.
I did not participate in the forum back then, but I watched probably a hundred hours of movies thanks to the reviews. Whoever Mr. Roboto and other reviewers were, I'm eternally thankful 😄🙏
