Act as a visionary cyberpunk artist with 10 years of experience in dystopian world-building. Create a highly detailed DALL-E image prompt depicting a sprawling [neon-lit metropolis] under perpetual dark skies, dominated by towering [skyscrapers with flickering holographic ads]. The scene should feature ominous [giant surveillance drones] with glowing red lenses patrolling the streets, casting eerie shadows on the rain-slicked pavement below. Include subtle details like cracked screens displaying propaganda, citizens hiding their faces under umbrellas, and distant police sirens piercing the thick smog. Use a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio with dramatic lighting to emphasize the oppressive atmosphere.
