I regularly listen to this even after all this time:

and it activates neurons in all kinds of ways.

Makes me think about Adam bitterly coming to terms with humanity being at the mercy of the powerful elite, and how the dream of a good future for humanity is truly dead. The feeling like it's already over and we're just watching things unavoidably fall part.
Makes me dread the fact I'm starting to have the same exact thoughts about the real world, and the hopelessness that we probably can't do anything to stop it or fix it.
Makes me think about Adam's existential dread and him slowly starting to sense on some subconscious level that he's been dead for a while, on the cusp of the terrible revelation that he's been a cloned ghost in the shell since Panchea.
>"There was a quiet, corrosive fear in the back of his thoughts that something terrible had happened to him during his lost time, something he couldn’t grasp."
And the knowledge that Deus Ex is now dead due to corporate bullshit and Adam is gone for good, while there's countless other worthless much worse IPs allowed to continue - it just adds to all this and feeds into the melancholic and bitter mood.

Also it's just very good ambient noise. Perfect for whiskey.
