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.

Neuromancer meets Alice in Wonderland, set in Manchester, UK.

Ive read Vurt and Pollen they are both great! About to start Automated Alice now and I am completely invested in the world Noon has created. Highly reccommend these, I dont think books 2-4 aren't currently in print so you might have to look around, but Vurt can be picked up pretty easily :)

Destined for cult status, cyberpunk at the cutting edge.

Don't forget this gem as well. Reads like the precursor to vurt.

Not sure if you read it yet. 4 months later... I have been locked out of my lemme account until recently and this is my curious yellow tat I got about 3 weeks ago...
