I'm not saying that it didn't have a huge cultural impact. As a distinct genre, Cyberpunk lived for maybe 8 years. It's influences are huge, but all I'm saying is that his literary contributions are few. Also in that genre, Harlan Ellison probably deserves as much if not more credit. He gets way too much smoke for not enough fire.
