Killing Technology. Content Warning.
1. Cyberpunk "Cyberpunk" is a form of fiction given birth by the collision between societal decay and technological ascendancy. It was popular in the 1980s but still influences modern movies, television shows, comic books, and graphic novels, as well as music to a great degree. Films such as The Matrix, Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira, and newer offerings such as Cyberpunk 2077 have kept the genre alive. Its roots go back to the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, the French comic art of Moebius as exemplified in Metal Hurlant (known in America as "Heavy Metal"), and the "New Wave of Science Fiction" pioneered by writers such as J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Its aesthetic is seedy and post-modern, its world populated by hardboiled cynics, cutthroats, hackers, corporate criminals, and brutal, militarized police. And, of course, the occasional terrorist (er, perhaps "freedom fighter"?) working to bring down the oppressive, dehumanizing system wherein cyberspace (as defined by William Gibson) has become the Alcatraz of the soul.

The UK business broadband market is not as boring as it sounds
Navigating the UK business broadband market is akin to choosing the best brew in a town famed for its variety of teas. The options are plentiful, but selecting the right one is crucial, especially when balancing cost against performance. Interestingly, spending more doesn’t always equate to faster internet - it's like splurging on a first-class ticket only to face unexpected delays. This disparity is especially pronounced with advanced technologies like Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) broadband, offering a quantum leap from sluggish speeds to something akin to light speed.
