Cyberpunk

CLEANUP CANDIDATE

Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Reason: No reason specified.

Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that is best described as "high tech and low life." The genre deals with the conflict between hackers and corrupt governments and megacorporations, in a dystopic near-future setting. Originally gaining popularity in the late 20th century, cyberpunk has stood the test of time, as our present-day world starts to move more and more in the direction of the fictional worlds in Neuromancer and Blade Runner.

On /g/, cyberpunk/hacker culture threads are created daily.
