Idk if Neuromancier or Judge Dreed or their echoes in media like Shadowrun imply freedom. They seem more like allegories for new kinds of prisons.

Yes, you have a protagonist or two who is one of the Specials. And maybe they survive while everyone else around them dies or otherwise falls victim to the horror.

Dystopia often has elements of rebellion or revolution. But it rarely looks like anyone is having much fun.
