This one hit home for me:
We’re just not much good any more at refusing things because they don’t seem proper. As a society, we can’t even manage to turn our backs on abysmal threats like heroin and the hydrogen bomb. As a culture, we love to play with fire, just for the sake of its allure; and if there happens to be money in it, there are no holds barred. Jumpstarting Mary Shelley’s corpses is the least of our problems; something much along that line happens in intensive-care wards every day.

I think this fits, too: Moonrise Kingdom https://letterboxd.com/film/moonrise-kingdom/ If you have my sense of humor, you’ll also find this one rather funny.
I really need one of those shiny knives.
I have one of these, and it’s great: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1319311167/cyber-punk-circuit-pendant-made-in-usa
