>>7621348
No, but it is still better than steampunk.
i like lain
>>7621348
Not particularly.
But it's a lot better than Steampunk.
loved neuromancer so much that i plan to read everything gibson has ever written
lain is great too
>>7621348

GITS was pretty cool
>>7621683
i'd like to see this chart
>>7621683
Nice. Looking forward to that.

Thank christ, I've been having a hard time finding anything good besides the main ones and some chinese cartoons
I do, but it has to be done right, I don't like it when it's 'oppressive govnment grr' My favorite one was when the society itself was fine and went though normally, but there was one big cult/religion thing polluting everything
Altered Carbon got picked up by Netflix, is the book series any good?

work in progress, starting on getting things together. here's a beginning. people feel free to suggest things i haven't added yet. i realize there is a lot. and i have never read Metro 2033. for people looking for GiTS, i would highly recommend Altered Carbon.

Accelerando by Charles Stross
*Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan (action oriented, probably best for GiTS fans)
The Windup Girl by Paulo (biopunk)
*Jean le Flambeur by Hannu Rajaniemi (post-punk aka post-singularity, this could read as general science fiction, but incorporates a lot of cyberpunk themes and takes them to far conclusions)

Yes, the first one is good - a lot of fun. The opening shoot out is very well done and an excellent start. The rest of the series are not so good. I am very happy to hear that it got picked up by Netflix, because it seems like they'd be able to give it the funding it needs. I can't imagine some of the stuff in live action though. Shit is wild.

River of Gods by Ian McDonald and several of his other books would fall under "Modern"
you can literally buy ever william gibson book and mirrorshades and be done with it, unless you want to talk about videogames or chink cartoons
>>7622326
cool opinion there man
>>7622313
The Gold Coast by Kim Stanley Robinson (yuppie-punk)
>>7621683
bumping for this
>>7621683
>>7623855
nice. would remove Starfish (although a great book) and add some of the other books under the Modern list
im only really interested in cyberpunk games t bh
>>7622313
Fuck you fucking faggot. We demand nice chart with color pictures ffs
>>7623855
Now that's better
>>7621348
It's 'lright. It has a great aesthetic but I find it grating to read.
>>7624276
i agree, it seems really difficult to properly explain to the reader the situations going on in mega-corporation hacking scenarios and other cyberpunk related stuff
i'm really intrigued by the atmosphere of it all but sometimes i have to just accept that i have no idea what is happening and keep moving forward
