Libertarian (neoclassical liberals) dreams of hyper-capitalist takeover.
Philosophy on hyper-reality (I believe these guys [in my own parody cover] deal with that. Not sure, I'm a pseud)
Punk music theatrics.
PKD and other sci-fi leaning towards it

I sincerely doubt and literature influenced Cyberpunk: Edgerunners whatsoever. Cyberpunk OVAs from the 80s-90s occasionally at least nodded to the written word, but by now it's 100% a copy of a copy of other anime and movies.
