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.

Oh god why. I mean I will hope for the best but this does not gives confidence, this is the kind of project I would have hoped to be in the hands of Lisa Joy as I feel like she always tackles the projects with the respect they deserve.
She only wrote one episode, so it's still a tossup, I wonder how qualified the rest of the team is.
I like Blade Runner, I like Michelle Yeoh, I have very little faith in Amazon's production… we'll see
Now, hold on, didn’t they save The Expanse after it was dropped by Syfy? And if you ask me they did a good job of the remaining seasons.
Amazon also managed to make Wheel of Time boring, though.
Yeah that headline had me until "Prime Video". I feel like there's always a catch to anything exciting now.
Probably wait a few months after release for the hype to settle to see if it's actually of substance.
the real cyberpunk is in the last half of the headline
"r 2099’ Sequel Series For Prime Video" ?
just about, yeah
