For most of my life, I’ve been cyberpunk ambivalent. I like speculative fiction just fine, but I feel like if there are Fantasy People and there are Science Fiction People, I am firmly in the former camp. I’ve never truly vibed with fiction revolving around spaceships, computers, and dystopian futures, but I never could really articulate why. Transmetropolitan? Tried it. Blade Runner? Eh. Shadowrun? Never stuck.
.
You’d think that not having a clear-cut opinion about cyberpunk would be something easily put out of my mind, but I’m a writer and an academic — careers for which articulating an opinion and settling ambivalence is sort of the name of the game. And cyberpunk has been on people’s minds a lot the past few weeks (for no real reason at all, I’m sure)
So, here are some games to think through cyberpunk.
