What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Even since lemmy.villa-straylight.social instance which hosted the !cyberpunk@lemmy.villa-straylight.social closed without any notice, it created a vacuum around cyberpunk content. I'm hoping to change that.

I was never an active poster there, but it was one of my favorites communities, so I wish to give it a new home here.

Welcome, and I'm definitely okay with this.

One thing I don’t care about is news articles. Or specifically, what I consider the articles that belong on r/aboringdystopia. I’m interested in cyberpunk as a genre, not the real world going to shit.

Real world news is outside this community scope. Cyberpunk is science-fiction, fiction part is mandatory.
