Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Baudrillard, Hyperreality, and Societies of Control [PART TWO]

In this video, we will challenge Deleuze and Guattari's theories of Schizophrenia and the Body without Organs using Baudrillard theories of hyperreality and the code to cultivate a better understanding of the system that David occupies in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

We highlight how cybernetic integration and hyperreality condition David’s schizophrenic process, how David’s acceleration towards cyber-psychosis traces a Deleuzian line of flight, but across Baudrillardian, hyper-curved, space which inflexes any trajectory back into capital’s orbit.
