In the sprawling, neon-drenched dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077 , the central narrative thrust is the concept of "enshittification"—the gradual decay of the mind and soul when tethered to decaying technology. The protagonist, V, fights a losing battle against a biochip that is slowly overwriting their consciousness. Ironically, this narrative mirrors the real-world struggle of video game preservation.
