In some ways “outdated”, too edgy, but in some details maybe even more relevant today than it originally was.
(1/3 of humanity having no electricity is a bit exaggerated, in 2000 it was 1/5.)

This comic confuses the nerd, who has a 12 year old laptop with netbsd on it, a flipphone, and a PSP they use to emulate a game boy advance, with those cosplaying as one by buying the newest tech gadget as soon as it is out.
The techbros pushing the singulrity are not nerds either. It’s unclear if Musk ever really read Iain Banks’ culture novels he keeps referencing, but if he did, he 100% missed their point.
Right? Using the term ‘nerd’ in this context infuriates me
Joke’s on them, I have an actual Game Boy Advance. Bud still works after all these years.
You should try a DS, the screen is usable for us old people 😁!
Wait, did you say Advance ? Best fucking handheld ever built 😍
I’m kind of repeating myself, but the comic is pretty old (before 2014), and I think the culture and words’ meanings have shifted a bit in the meantime.
No, i don’t think so. That use of the word nerd was as out of place 15 years ago as it is today.
Source: I was a nerd 15 years ago too.
Then replace the word in an image editor? Or if it’s this old try to refine it a bit?
It’s not my work, I don’t want to (and don’t have much of a right to) meddle with it. If I even thought of updating it to my tastes, I’d do everything differently, far from changing just one word. Art can’t be updated.
The interesting part is, to me, how a few details do seem not at all outdated, despite many others being grating.
I must admit, now I understand even more clearly why the author deleted all of her work off the internet…
