This was an exercise in working backwards: how could we end up with a cyberpunk world by the early 21st century? Complete with all the aesthetic trappings: a declining USA run by corporations, Japan as an economic superpower, v a p o r w a v e styling, and computer technology that is advanced but not really consumer/normie friendly in the way that OTL's is. Ended up including a lot of ideas that I think would be worth exploring in a slightly more serious format.

Thank you. I try very hard to make sure all my AH is plausible.

One quibble, though - whatever became of the Liberals? It's fine otherwise, of course.

Jo Grimond realised he was just an evil vote-stealer and led the entire Liberal Party into the Labour Party (except for the nasty classical liberals, who all spontaneously combusted after Greenwood gave János Kádár a socialist fraternal kiss).
