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.

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!

I'd love for you to add a link to this community, thanks!

As for a description, I don't know what to say. My goal is to make this a place to discuss cyberpunk as a sci-fi genre and not complaining about the current world turning into a cyberpunk dystopia. So the only news items I'll post will be about upcoming movies/games, not whatever stupid thing Amazon did recently. But that's just me, it's not like I enforce it or anything. Lemmy as a whole is so small that any new content at all is preferable to a dead community.

This is what I love about this community! I've added a link, please feel free to suggest any changes to the wording as english is not my first language.
