Theory Briefing
- A YouTube fan theory with 730K views claims cyberpsychosis, the central tragedy of Edgerunners, is a fabricated or misrepresented condition.
- If cyberpsychosis is a myth, the corporations selling cybernetic implants may be using it to control or scapegoat augmented people.
- The theory reframes the show's core arc — a teenager pushed to violent breakdown by over-augmentation — as a story about systemic manipulation, not individual weakness.
