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.

The videos are AI because I don't have any money. The novel is written by myself, me, a human being who has no money because I spent the last three years writing a novel.
Edit:
the voice is also me, a human, who spent months huddled in a closet narrating the audiobook version.
It's cool fam, the sidebar of this community explicitly says we welcome AI Art. People are just a little wary because the corporations are using "AI" in such terrible ways.
Understood, thanks!
