It is set in the future, but not far enough into it to accurately predict things. Either a very corrupt government or a very corrupt corporation is running the joint. Expect the protagonist to either be a cyborg, a hacker, or both. If said protagonist is male, they're probably a total jerk. If the protagonist is female, expect their only character trait to be "capable." Expect the protagonist to at some point have a graphic sex scene that you didn't ask for. Expect virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and drug addictions to be an important part of the plot. Sometimes, genetic experimentation or nanotechnology is also thrown in there for good measure. Expect philosophical questions to be asked a lot (especially ones regarding a character's "humanity"). There is no countryside here, just a shit ton of metallic skyscrapers lined with neon lights and advertisements. Even if it's not set in Asia, expect to see a LOT of East Asian cultural influence (particularly in the neon advertising and the way people dress). The crime rate here is usually high. The villains often take the role of a crime lord, a ruthless businessman, a killer robot/cyborg, a mysterious hacker, or a shady government agent. Body horror may or may not be present. The story is often very bleak in tone, but sometimes ends on a good note just to be different.
