# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Visions of the Future, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Cyberpunk: Don't use Asian cities as a symbol of otherness. Make the fictional social order concrete.
# - Steampunk: Don't just paste gears on. Keep the world's technology and society coherent.
