“Songs of Cyborgeoisie” is firstand foremost a journey through a sci-fi world seeking to liberate itself from currently prevailing technological dystopias.
Over the course of the story, visitors experience the development of 7 characters and become part of the action. For each piece of music and in each level of the game, the characters embody human fears about the technological present. They question visions of transhumanist utopias and imagine their own tech-positive future.
