I'd say it's more c/BoringDystopia

I have to fullheartily disagree! From my point of view this is an exciting dystopia - the same way Russian roulette is "exciting".

I wouldn't have thought that we as species speedrun the shadowrun tech dystopia in addition to the expected corporate oligarchy one - on not, not instead!

This feels like doing 200mph on a highway and someone telling me that they now can - and in fact started to - alter my breaks on the fly. "boring" just doesn't cut it anymore for me.
