The Walled City was not on Hong Kong island. Kowloon is on the Chinese mainland side of Hong Kong.


** The no longer existent Walled City of Kowloon which shared an island with HongKong was aesthetically ''very'' cyberpunk,due to no building regulations being enforced, and the lack of law enforcement could push it into dystopia territory for some.

** This extends to its dependent states, such as Guernsey and particularly Sark, the former of which is run primarily by the owners of locally operating firms (who put all public construction through their firms, thus making the MP expenses look like nothing, and resulting in schools that are just refurbished warehouses, built for profit margin rather than a decent environment.) and English people (who abuse the island's tax status and purchase houses, perform routine maintenance and then sell them on at an inflated rate, meaning the average small house costs over £350,000), while the latter island recently repelled an attempt by the Barclay Brothers to put corporate sponsored politicians in, effectively trying to annex the island as their personal corporate enclave. Following their failure, they [[MoralEventHorizon pulled their investments from the island, collapsing its economy and causing the unemployment to rise to over 50%.]]

----> "About ten minutes into ''Blade Runner'', I reeled out of the theater in complete despair over its visual brilliance and its similarity to the "look" of ''Literature/{{Neuromancer}}'', my [then] largely unwritten first novel. Not only had I been beaten to the semiotic punch, but this damned movie looked better than the images in my head! With time, as I got over that, I started to take a certain delight in the way the film began to affect the way the world looked. Club fashions, at first, then rock videos, finally even architecture. Amazing! A science fiction movie affecting reality!"
