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.

Even since lemmy.villa-straylight.social instance which hosted the [email protected] closed without any notice, it created a vacuum around cyberpunk content. I'm hoping to change that.

I was never an active poster there, but it was one of my favorites communities, so I wish to give it a new home here.

If you are interested in joining and helping with shaping it, message me and we can talk.

Hey! Sorry to join this thread late, but I'm super glad to see you over here! I never knew why the other community died suddenly (didn't realize it was the instance itself) and I'm really glad you're still around and that there's a new cyberpunk spot to follow the old one

I'll try bringing over some of my previous book recs and maybe a couple panels of art from a rural cyberpunk comic I've been working on. Glad to have this community back

That's great news and I'd love any help you can give! Also, I'm glad you found this new community. Your username is one of the few I actually remembered and was half-tempted to DM you to tell you about this community but I didn't want to make it weird by begging you to come back. 😀
