Cyberpunk is 100% a product of the 80s.
I disagree that it should change. Moving beyond what it was kind of ruins it, in the same ways 80s horror movies could be solved with a cell phone.
It's better to look at it as a sub-grene or alternate historical fiction.
- gpderetta 3y agoI think you have to distinguish between the aesthetic and the themes. The former, is very definitely tied to the '80 and it feel very retro-futuristic today (still cool in its own way). The themes I think are still relevant today, so much that they are hardly sci-fi anymore.
