What is The Cyberpunk Utopia Podcast?

Cyberpunk Utopia offers a fresh take on our technological future. While "cyberpunk" traditionally paints a dark picture of corporate-controlled tech (think Blade Runner), hosts Teresa and Paul flip the script by exploring how we can use these same powerful tools to build something better.

Through their unique synergy, Teresa (an intuitive explorer) and Paul (a systems thinker) explore how emerging AI technologies can augment human potential by weaving together philosophical inquiry and real-world experiments in building what they term a 'meaning-centered economy.'

Central to their approach is the Japanese concept of ikigai—finding harmony between passion, capability, societal need, and economic viability. This framework guides their exploration of how individuals and communities can maintain agency and discover meaning in an AI-augmented world.
