Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain: Difference between revisions

* In the [[Science Fiction Visual Novels|science fiction visual novel]] ''[[Bionic Heart]]'', it is always dark, cloudy or rainy. The horrible weather is explained by global warming destroying Earth's climate and turning it into a [[Single Biome Planet]].

 

* In ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'', Venus is depicted this way. [[Word of God]] confirmed <ref>in the commentary on [http://project-apollo.net/ab/ab098.html this] ''[[Afterlife Blues]]'' page</ref> this as a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Ray Bradbury]] and others who depicted Venus in this manner. The reason for this common early picture of Venus showed that is full of clouds that make it impossible to see the ground. These were long assumed to be rainclouds, and thus Venus was depicted as a steaming rainforest, by Bradbury and others such as Howard's ''[[John Carter of Mars]]'' series.

* Paradise City in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''. Riff getting a clear view of the sky becomes a plot point.
