A transmission from the resistance...
The system has failed us. Corporate control tightens its grip. But in the neon-lit shadows of Wicked Eden, the revolution begins. Welcome to CYBERTOPIA, where 150 rebels will gather on January 24, 2026, to join the Autonomy Uprising.
Over 100 rebels have already enlisted. Will you be next?
Cybertopia is a one-night, fully immersive cyberpunk experience built by The Autonomy Project.
Secure your place in the resistance now! Every ticket powers our mission to protect, empower, and celebrate our community.
what your
ticket funds
Your ticket is a direct act of mutual aid. It helps keep queer, trans, BIPOC, SxW, and otherwise marginalized people safer by funding community-run spaces that prioritize consent, accessibility, and care over profit. Cybertopia supports the Autonomy Project’s ability to keep doors open, dish out mutual aid payments, host low-cost and free programming, and build infrastructure that exist outside corporate sponsorship and respectability politics. Cybertopia isn’t backed by big brands or billionaires. It’s funded by the people who want this world to exist and are willing to build it together.

The Experience
Cybertopia is a playable, immersive dystopia. Guests are not spectators. They are temporary citizens navigating a city controlled by Capital Corp while quietly feeding an uprising. Everything funnels toward curiosity, movement, and choice. Cybertopia is a convergence zone. A temporary gathering where factions of the Uprising gather to dance, socialize, connect, and more.
Cybertopia appears, does its work, and dissolves back into the shadows, leaving the Uprising stronger and more fortified for what lies ahead.
PERFORMANCES
Incredible performances throughout the evening:
- Aerial Champagne Performance (VIP Hour) by Katy & Misty
- Neon Glow Rope Performance by Linworth & Basil
- Powerful Singing Performance by Daddy Des
LIVE DJS
From dark-alt electro dance to hyper fem futuristic soundscapes to tech-noir club that sounds like The Matrix and Charli XCX had a cyborg child:
- Dj brokenboy (Columbus OH)
- Jon Fables (Pittsburg, PA)
- Kasha (Los Angeles, CA)
More than 60 vendors have donated and sponsored a truly impressive haul of goodies: gift certificates, head dresses, clothing, accessories, and more! Divided into bundles for easier download, you can take home a BIG cybernetic payload.

THE WORLD OF CYBERTOPIA
By the mid-2040s, the United States didn’t collapse under fascism. It was rebranded into it.
After years of executive consolidation, emergency powers never expired. Deregulation accelerated. Antitrust quietly died. The ultra-wealthy consolidated infrastructure, data, labor, and enforcement under a single corporate federation known publicly as Capital Corp.
What began as logistics, tech platforms, private aerospace, data aggregation, defense contracting, and energy “innovation” fused into one governing entity. The richest people on Earth didn’t seize power. They optimized it. Bezos. Musk. Their peers. Their successors. Names became irrelevant once the system stabilized.
The Uprising did not begin with violence, it began with refusal. Refusal to comply with audits. Refusal to disappear quietly. Refusal to trade dignity for access.
It formed simultaneously in abandoned infrastructure, off-grid clinics, mutual aid networks, underground art spaces, and forgotten neighborhoods Capital Corp deemed low value.
People shared food without loyalty points. Provided medical aid without authorization. Sheltered each other without registration. Loved without permission. People experienced care without cost. Safety without surveillance. Belonging without transaction. Once felt, it could not be unfelt.
Capital Corp labeled it contagion, but one they can’t seem to “cure.”
Some participants dream of dismantling Capital Corp entirely. Others focus on building parallel worlds where its authority is irrelevant. Many simply want to keep their people alive. What binds them is not a strategy, but a need to preserve the most beautiful aspects of humanity: art, music, stories, history, connections, each other.
