Cyberpunk

It’s 2041 and the gaps in social and economic inequality have left the world on the brink. A breakthrough in science has given humanity the ability to bring victims of a violent crime back to life by backing up their brain every 2 days. This allows an ambitious, young detective the opportunity to solve a case of a murdered...

This game is such an oddity. Depending on how you count it, this is Hideo Kojima's second game (after Metal Gear for the NES). And it's basically Blade Runner but legally distinct enough to not get sued. Yet they also decided to make one character look exactly like Sting from the 1984 Dune movie for some reason:...

Thin Air feels like a Takeshi Kovacs knock-off but given that it's written by the same author, I guess that's ok. Just like Altered Carbon, Thin Air is about a ridiculously overpowered ex-soldier trying to solve a crime in a cyberpunk city and ends up digging deeper and deeper into unraveling a conspiracy. But this time, it...

I stumbled upon a list of the (supposedly) best cyberpunk comics. The list started out with the expected well-known manga like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, but then they listed Shatter and Hard-Boiled. And I'd never heard of either of them. So I'm curious if anyone here has read and would recommend either of these comics....

Last week, I tried describing what I was thinking for a new logo for this community. Here's my attempt at showing what I was thinking. Yes, it's very amateurish and I would love for someone to make it better, but it shows my intent. Also, I think it's somewhat recognizable when shrunk down:...

Short story reprint on Reactormag about cyberpunk graffiti artists who team up with hackers....

The score evokes the film's bleak futurism with an emotive synthesizer-based sound......

This community currently has a banner and icon generated by AI. That's all well and good, and I like the amorphous blob of neon skyscrapers used in the banner. But I don't like the icon. My problem is that when you shrink the icon down to the size used in all apps, those two orange neon signs end up looking like flippers on a...

Mute definitely takes place in a cyberpunk setting, but something about it just feels off to me. Maybe it's the fact that the main character is basically Amish, or that the plot isn't especially cyberpunk, or that I just don't like Paul Rudd's character in this movie. I guess I'm stuck wondering why they bothered to set this...

This is a total joke game but it's priced right at $5 and they totally committed to the joke. Rather than trying to teach pseudo-linux hacking commands (like in Hacknet or Uplink), this game is inspired by terrible hacking scenes in movies and TV (like having two people type on the same keyboard as fast as they can)....

I dislike LitRPG as a genre. I won't stop anyone from reading it, but I personally think it's a lazy cop-out to world-building. I tried reading one that started talking about the character's mana points and putting items in their inventory (when the character wasn't inside a video game) and I immediately put it down. Also,...

Including any movie, TV show, video game, book, anime, whatever. What's your favorite depiction of cyberspace?...

The game is definitely cyberpunk but since this is just a reveal trailer with no gameplay, there's no way to tell what type of game it actually is....

Cloudpunk is a good game for people who don't want to stress out while playing a video game. This is a very low-stakes mellow gameplay. You're given the freedom to fly all over the city at your own pace. Plus you can get out of your taxi and walk around all you want. But this isn't like Crazy Taxi where you're just...

This is so preliminary I doubt it will actually be made, but I'd love a Watch_Dogs movie!

It's always been strange to me that Ghost in the Shell is considered cyberpunk. It's about a government agency trying to resolve state-level issues. There are no hard-boiled detectives, no evil corporations, no punk-rock influences, no high-tech low-lifes....

Beeple makes a picture every day and a lot of them are cyberpunk. Of course, a lot of them are also just... weird. So it's hit or miss (much like my posts to this community!)....

I'm tired of reading books that are somewhat cyberpunk or kinda cyberpunk if you squint your eyes just right. I'm in the mood for something that's more unapologetically cyberpunk. So what Shadowrun novels are worth reading?...

Ok, this is a bit of a silly post since this series is very obviously not cyberpunk. But it has hard-boiled detectives and robots, that's all you need, right?...

It's a bit of a spoiler to say the movie ends with a solarpunk world, but that's like saying "there's a happy ending" is a spoiler. You know they're going to resolve the conflict, it's finding how they get there that's the interesting part....

I've made a couple posts about Upload before. It's a cyberpunk rom-com so it doesn't exactly get a strong recommendation from me, but it's also the only live-action cyberpunk TV show actively airing right now (at least until we get Neuromancer 🤞)....

Slave Zero is an old game so the graphics and gameplay mechanics are definitely dated. But I don't know any other game that lets you stomp around a cyberpunk city as a giant robot. The game does a great job of giving you a sense of scale with all the little flying cars moving around your feet as you jump from building to...

These are the cover artworks for Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive by Josan Gonzalez (Deathburger). The covers were used for the Brazilian reprints....
