The xenophobia angle is really interesting to me. Despite being born after the movies release I always loved it. But I am also a huge japanophile and am unusual in the regard that I badly want cities as they are in Blade Runner and other Cyberpunk fantasies and was thus blind to the xenophobia, since I see the intended negative as desirable.

- henriquecm8 4y agoI agree, maybe some author had this xenophobic side, but not all of them, and Gibson, which is made, arguably, the first Cyberpunk book, introduced the "japanese" tropes, and he did out of admiration.
