Maybe some new readers expect something... More? I personally am a great fan - and I do think William Gibson And Bruce Sterling did a lot to cement cyberpunk as a strong genere (not alone, Vernor Vinge, Philip K Dick certainly played a big part). But the line continues back - William Gibson wrote a new foreword to Tiger, Tiger / The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. And Richard Morgan's series Altered Carbon continue forward in this vein of combining punk/pulp, dystopia and technology. Personally I grown more and more fond of Gibson's vision of escaped AIs being worshipped as Vodou legbas.
