About this listen

 The High Tech Low Life podcast is a review of cyberpunk media throughout the ages. Books, movies, TV, and even games and music are all on the table. The show takes a deep dive into the subject of each episode, relates it to modern life, and just for fun, gives it a rating based a number of criteria. The hosts are lifelong fans of the genre, and hope to revisit some beloved properties, and maybe shine some light on a few that slipped through the cracks.2023 Art Literary History & Criticism

    Episode 100 - Blade Runner 2049
    Sep 24 2025

    For our centennial episode we have the pleasure of recapping Denis Villeneuve's 2017 sequel to Blade Runner: Blade Runner 2049. Thirty years after the original and Deckard is back up to his old blade running tricks, and this time he has a hot new sidekick you might recognize, The Gray Man himself: Ryan Gosling. We are excited to be joined by our old friend Sean Faust to cover this one, and cover it we do. This is the first of two parts.

    The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.

    Episode 99 - Ex Machina
    Sep 17 2025

    In our final double digit episode ever, we cover 2015's moody and sleek Ex Machina. This movie features a baby Domhnall Gleeson, a robot Alicia Vikander, and an Oscar Isaac that can really "get it", despite his toxic personality. A beautifully shot and acted film and might I say handsomly recapped by your hosts.
