Is cyberpunk ever coming back?

>> No.17082841

No. Science fiction is an absurd notion.

You mean reality? The same reality where science died decades ago and we focus our efforts on developing apps, netflix, and YouTube channels that make trannies feel better? You must mean that “science” “fiction”.

I don't think its even peaked. The people who have written in the genre like Neuromancer are just the stone age founders. 2077 might inspire another wave.

No. You don’t have to be a fascist to critique the notion of modern “science” and the state of “fiction”. That should go without saying. Is that POV not implied as a possibility in the OP in the first place?

Cyberpunk 2077 is purely aesthetical. It represents what people generally think the genre is about today: cool robotic upgrades and neo-tokyo at night

2077 is more like retro cyberpunk aesthetic. The identifiable cyberpunk aesthetic is just that but sometimes it's generic urban scifi aesthetic too. Really weird and offputting.

>> No.17083004

I really liked void star by Zachary Mason. It has that feverish vibe i like in cyberpunk compared to your average more clinical scifi novel.

I felt a really deep sympathy for OP, so I tried to get into his mindset and write a song about him, for him, from his perspective.
It's still a work in progress, OP.
It's called "I Piss On My Balls"

If you're going to keep posting this every single time, at least be aware of who the fuck Raymond Chandler is. You could parody him just as accurarely because none of his novels are particularly original or well written. Hell, how many times have you seen a fake Philippe Marlowe speaking in cliches?

Sure. The newer cyberpunk will more specifically work with the concept of an endless stream of data, how it's collected, processed, filtered, presented and used. How the collective brain is manipulated and hacked, how it is protected and enriched.

Cyberpunk is already outdated. It was a response to the corporatism of the Reagan era and a cautionary tale of how technology could come to control our lives. It was prophetic in some ways but said technology ended up in our pockets instead of inside our brains.

Cyberpunk was built on a decades old understanding of the future based on the geopolitics and technology of the time. It can only really exist now as retro-futuristic kitsch.
