From biohackers to ghostbots, William Gibson’s Neuromancer saw the future 40 years ago – why has Silicon Valley defied its warnings?

    Because those ghouls want to build Tessier-Ashpool. They want their palace in the sky where the rules don’t apply to them.

    Article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/neuromancer-william-gibson-sci-fi-novels/

    Clickbaiting and trolling. Makes it hard to see that the article writer has a couple decent points mixed in there. The suprising thing is, the article’s written by a “real” author and not just a publicist or LLM. I suspect the Telegraph editors made him write it that way.

        OK maybe that was harsh… the article’s better than the title suggests though.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

  • Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
  • Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
  • Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
  • Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
  • Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
