Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
kind of hate to say but it because this does rule but the apocalypse that has LeMans racecars is carbrain.
Eh, Idk if this is meant to be straight post-apocalypse and more "dingy cyberpunk". Like a private police force in a cyberpunk dystopia having patrol cars that look like LeMans racecars makes sense.
I mean yeah kinda. Isn't that cyberpunk's whole thing, the apocalypse did happen but society kinda managed to keep it together, but now everything's way shittier and weird.
I think that they are very distinct genres that explore different zeitgeist anxieties prevalent in the eras they emerged from. The (explicit or implicit) state of the wider world isn't generally explored or relevant in cyberpunk fiction except maybe as a bit of world building flavor.
Cyberpunk's whole thing is expressing the economic anxieties of the western middle class / petit bourg and creating power fantasies of control in worlds where people are stripped of their agency by extremes of power imbalance and corruption.
