NeoBerlin
NeoBerlin is a fictional city-state featured in the 2019 video game Cyberpunk 2077. It is a highly dystopian and technologically advanced metropolis located on the western coast of North America, established as a successor to the original Berlin. The city is characterized by its towering skyscrapers, pervasive advertising, and stark social stratification. NeoBerlin is controlled by powerful corporations that exert significant influence over its governance and daily life. The population lives under constant surveillance, and cybernetic augmentation is commonplace, blurring the lines between human and machine. The city's districts vary greatly in their environment and population, ranging from the opulent corporate enclaves to the impoverished, crime-ridden underbelly. NeoBerlin serves as a central location for much of the game's narrative, exploring themes of transhumanism, corporate greed, and individual struggle for freedom. Its design emphasizes a fusion of brutalist architecture and neon-lit futurism, creating a visually striking and oppressive atmosphere. The city's economy is driven by advanced technology, but also heavily reliant on illegal activities and black market dealings.
