Episode 122 - Equilibrium

If you were an adolescent in 2002-2003, Equilibrium ruled. Equal parts Matrix-cool and not-at-all-subtle anti authoritarianism were the perfect mix for angsty young men such as your humble hosts. As an adult in 2026 it's still kinda rules, though the flaws may be slightly more apparent. Pre-Batman Bale, fresh off of LOTR Bean, and post Stella Diggs? Sign me the eff up.

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.
