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.

Hey everyone, I'm a bit nervous about sharing this. I haven't touched any code in over a decade, but recently I decided to give it another go. Back in the early 2000s, I used to experiment with basic websites as a hobby, and now I've built a small database of cyberpunk media, games, and literature from scratch.

I have a thing for cassette futurism, so the design is pretty plain. I hope it might be useful, and I'll do my best to keep adding new entries regularly. If you notice anything I've missed or have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate your input.

Thanks for taking a look!

Ouch, For some reason I thought the URL field was for webpage, and not for the image. Sorry about that.
