Isn't cyber punk supposed to be film noir set in a high tech future? So we just increasing the amount of film noir to get Cyber Noir?
- microtherion 5y agoYes, I think cyberpunk was always film noir inspired. E.g. I seem to recall that William Gibson was influenced by Dashiel Hammett.
- spfzero 5y agoThat one really stood out to me as well. All of the early Cyberpunk I remember reading seemed noir as hell. But maybe Cyberpunk has become such a big tent that "original" Cyberpunk needs a new name.
- stevula 5y agoSnow Crash is cyberpunk but it would be a stretch to call it noir.
