cyberfuture

Why this word is great

CYBERFUTURE — [Noun] A projected future shaped by cyberspace or advanced computer technology. From cyber- (relating to computers or the internet) and future (time yet to come). Unlike "futurism" (which paints the coming centuries in broad, speculative strokes) or the "digital age" (which merely documents our present entanglement with screens), the cyberfuture is a tight focus on silicon destiny. It is the glow of neural implants in predawn bedrooms, cities rendered as executable code, and the quiet horror of realizing your childhood memories were outsourced to a cloud server—a world where the distinction between living and logging in has collapsed.
