Hiro Protagonist is a half-Japanese drifter, living in a storage facility and working shit jobs in a dystopian neoliberal projection of SoCal circa 1990. However he’s skilled with a katana and respected in Basically VR Second Life As An Equatorial Street.
Also, there’s some punk skateboarder chick, a Camp of the Saints flotilla that stands in for the 80s latino immigrant wave, and Basically Lobo With A Nuke
…
…in the end, it turns out it was an informational virus from ancient Sumer or something. I have no memory what “it” was.
Also there’s a gatling gun called Reason and I think the skateboarder chick knocks out Lobo with a syringe in her vagina at one point.
Okay, I’m starting to see why a movie never worked out.
