I was really in to cyberpunk novels back in the late 1980's through around 2000, then sort of fell out of the habit of reading them. So I have a poll and a request.

What happened to cyberpunk?

1. It's still going strong

2. It's vision of the future split from consensus reality enough that it faded away

3. It was replaced by a new genre of dystopian-future fiction

And the question - If you answered 1 or 3 above, who should I read in that vein?

(repost from yesterday, but I think Amethyst on my phone didn't quite work right, and can't find it elsewhere)

Kind of on topic but I saw a YT video recently about how cyberpunk look needs to be updated to the Middle East (UAE and Saudi) because the Tokyo impression war when Japan was leading tech forward and even the characters were very Asian. And today it can be argued Dubai is closer. A lot of Chinese cities defeat the argument but it’s interesting thoughts

Interesting, the idea that Japan is the cutting edge like you see in lots of the older stuff doesn't age well, though I'm pretty good at stepping back and just accepting it for what it is/was. (like fax machines being pretty front-and-center in, was it Neuromancer?) I do want some new stuff to read, but it's been so long, I should go back and read the classics again.
