Is our disappointment with the cyberpunk dystopia we live in due to the fact that we are not, in fact, the protagonist?

@2ck The best stories have background characters doing their own thing for their own reasons, much like real life.
@izaya oh, I don't say background characters are uninteresting. Formally, the defining trait of a protagonist is that they end up some place different (emotionally/mentally) at the end of the story, right? I guess the difference is just what span of time you look at and where you focus.
