I think that everyone who´s a member in this club shares a certain fondness for the genre... But so far all I see are Anime / Manga titles and the names of one movie and one book somewhere in the description... This being an Anime / Manga based Site, I can somehow understand this... But still I think it could be interesting to ask around what "else" there is, to you, when you think of "Cyberpunk"... To give you an example : What pops up in my head first is Shadowrun. Followed by fitting music for both the game and the genre at large ( this music including basicly allmost anything that can be done with a synthesizer, some shrapnells of metall or both ) Then there´s of course Movies, Books, Games and all sorts of stuff... ( but I don´t want to bother you with whatever stuff I could list here ) So... what is it that, apart from all the Anime / Manga stuff that was listed here allready, jumps to your mind when you think about Cyberpunk ? |

I tend to think of books The first boo that comes to mind is Neuromancer probably because it's so well known in the genre and one of the first boos I've read on it |

Robocop and Terminator, these two classic movies were probably the first "Cyberpunk" things I came to know. Really great ones... classic (right after Blade Runner=) |

Neuromancer it is the bible of the cyberpunk... And if you dont read that yet you should shutdown your pc, go to a bookstore, buy it, read it. Revoluttionary vision....since 1985 the elements of it stills around in the movies, animes, mangas, and everything sci-fi that you watch... When i think in cyberpunk the image that i see it is a trash-hole-future...high-tec slums...mankind in collapse... |

A future with incredible tech improvements but also the dependence of people to them and how this change their lives for better or for worse. Often unstable and followed by a conflict, revolution, apocalyptic happening, new world order, etc. or returning to the start point, without the hi-tech depicted. If someone's interested it'll be a pleasure to list / share / exchange film or music references. Modified by Anachronistic, 02-15-10, 10:00 AM |

System Shock II. A PC Game that brings cyberpunk to a new level i really love this game and its soundtracks, oh and its infamous villian SHODAN :D its so cyberpunkish.. sadly they turn it into Bioshock and imo its just not as good as its presuccesor Music geners can ranging from early Industrial to EDM (cyber goth) to early psy/goatrance and illbient/big beat  |

I think of movies like the original Metropolis movie. and come on guys Neuromancer had sequels, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. I guess no one wants to show any love to these just as good books?  |
