A typical cyberpunk story, like the one in Neon Knights, is about a mercenary navigating a dystopian city controlled by megacorporations, where the line between human and technology is blurred by advanced cybernetics. The protagonist gets entangled in a conspiracy after stealing a biochip containing the engram of a legendary rockerboy, which is slowly overwriting their own mind, forcing them into a race against time to survive. These stories often explore themes of corporate control, social inequality, and the nature of humanity in a technologically advanced world.
