Yes we're living in a smog filled mega city owned by Google and we're all wearing powergloves with crt monitors attached.

Cyberpunk cyberspace is significantly advanced than modern internet, though. It typically involves
-the internet of things
-uploading your brain online
-internet through VR
We're kind of getting there but we're still anywhere from 20 to 50 years from all three.

Gibson is a real artist, an actual literary figure that will be remembered long after his death in the same way as Dickens or Hemmingway.
Effinger, on the other hand, makes up for his limited Literary skill with a boundless supply of Charisma that is rarely found in a work of literature. and that is more what most Cyberpunk books are like. Ergo, while Gibson is the genre's greatest accomplishment, Effinger is the closest personification

But computers are magic to the average person nowadays and our civilization and way of life is constantly becoming more and more dependent on them
>hackers will rule the world
There isn't a single cyberpunk where hackers rule the world, it's always the corporations, but hackers are generally presented as super super super dangerous and able to bring countries to their knees. Which they are very quickly becoming IRL - as we computerize more and more things and as we move more and more towards the internet of things hackers will quite literally get the ability to bend the reality

>>323638398
>People are just becoming worse and worse at it the easier interfaces become to use
A lot worse because a lot of people are moving away from using PC for anything beyond Facebook and work/school. Especially the younger generations that are supposed to be the most tech savvy - they're largely moved to iphones and tablets.

because william gibson got fucking dicked by it when he went to see it (in the middle of writing neuromancer) and he basically re-wrote the whole book because it was so stylistically similar to what he was trying to achieve in the first place.
neuromancer and gibson is most certainly a keystone of cyberpunk and it itself was influenced by blade runner.
>>323638856

>Especially the younger generations that are supposed to be the most tech savvy - they're largely moved to iphones and tablets.
I wonder what the future workplace will look like. A lot of people were once optimistic about young people being computer-savvy, as we might have more proficient programmers and such. I don't know if this is the case anymore - people get labeled as "tech-savvy" even though they just use their phone all day - they couldn't write a program for shit.
In other words, we have an older generation who thinks kids are tech-savvy, when it turns out that these kids might barely be able to use a computer as they get older.

Did you just pull that out of your ass?
Because Ghost in the Shell was post-cyberpunk. Section 9 was working for the government and not all of Fukuoka was dystopian.
>>323640393
In SAC and the manga, maybe.
The tone of the first movie is a lot darker than the rest of the franchise.
You know, honestly, the only cyberpunk games I would say are exceptionally fun or well made are EYE and deus ex, human revolution to a point. I don't even really think Deus Ex is true cyberpunk either, its more like hard sci-fi with cyberpunk elements. Give me the names of more good cyberpunk games. I just started Hard Reset too.
Anyway, this fucking book needs a video game adaption. That would just be fucking awesome
>>323640393
The Sprawl wasn't dystopian. You telling me Neuromancer and Count Zero aint cyberpunk?
>>323637096
That was literally already the case when the genre originated.
The point was the exaggeration.
Jesus, every time with you faggots regurgitating this dumb 'we're living in cyberpunk man,' saying.
>>323640754
Holy shit, I'd forgotten about this book. Simply amazing.
>>323640798
And Mona Lisa Overdrive, don't forget that one.
As a side note, I picked up Zero History from Gibson and it's a little hard to get into. I feel like his present day shit isn't as good as his cyberpunk

>>323640983
Pattern Recognition was better imo
The Peripheral was a nice return to his sf roots though

I was planning on making an Arpg that is cyber-punk esque
but it takes place very very far after the extinction of humanity, and a slave-race of aliens have migrated to earth to eventually settle a civilization there
They eventually discover the ancient human race and worship them as gods, for they accomplished so much without the assistance of other races on a stranded planet.
They base all their civilization and culture on the remnants of human history that was available.
The player is a human corpse resurrected by a CEO or something capable of technologically doing that, through a robot body or something I don't know.
I haven't really made a story for it yet, just a ideas guy thing of mine.
>>323640393
You can tell GitS is post cyberpunk because there were day scenes and not everyone was miserable old hacker or young punk with weirdly dyed hair wearing clothing that's too sizes too small or too big.

What happened is that they haven't even started the production of the game. Which is precisely what they said - they'll focus for 2014 and 2015 and near future on Witcher 3 and it's expansions and then release Cyberpunk 2077 in like 2017 or 2018 or 2019.
>>323640953
thank god someone else has read it. I imagine there being two aspects to the game, the "real world" where you have to be stealthy and careful and can die easily, and the net, which plays like a cross between eye and devil may cry with some crazy motorcycle chases and huge environments to explore

Well, I've only read the book, and hear that the movie misses the point. People still debate whether Heinlein is writing sarcastically or not.
Heinlein was in the military, though, and did have some pro-military sentiments. But, did they go as far as what he writes in the book - especially since a lot of it has this somewhat sarcastic tone? That's what people debate.
