Cyberpunk anyone?

Anyone else writing Cyberpunk? I'm always looking for other storytellers to kick around ideas, share found resources and the like.

I'm fairly open with my definition of Cyberpunk/PostCyberpunk. Pretty much anything set in the future, lots of tech, usually dystopian.

RE: Cyberpunk anyone?

Mine's mostly fantasy, but it has its moments - a crashlanded spaceship, a continentwide network of advanced research facilities connected by teleporters, and two cyborg characters. I decided to take the typical "floating ancient tech city" of RPG lore and run with it for the last act of the game.

RE: Cyberpunk anyone?

Hellz yes!

A world where ALL classes are taught by robots, China & America have fallen, and all kind of currency from anywhere is accepted anywhere, except Canadian, which is only accepted in Canada, and all instruments are holograms, and the majority of emotions are banned, with the effect of feeling one of them resulting in death? What?

Yeah, that's what I'm writing about.
Mine has a more utopian surface, though... I like things to look clean^^

RE: Cyberpunk anyone?

Sorry Steampunk here but I use to run Cyberpunk 2020 games. Hardwire is still my all time favorite book and author.

RE: Cyberpunk anyone?

Last year I wrote the script (still yet to be rewritten) of my long-planned cyberpunk manga Spanner. For the prequel, Bad Company, which is heavily influenced by John Shirley's City Come A-Walkin' and Eclipse trilogy, and by Masamune Shirow, I decided to follow the example of William Gibson and do cyberpunk in the present day. (I tried to emulate the spectacular "Rock Ending" from Shirley's Eclipse only to find BadCo wanted to end more like Yoshihisa Tagami's Grey.) My justification comes from J.G. Ballard's preface to his novel Crash: we're living in the science fiction universe already. In fact, I believe we're living in the cyberpunk universe! Gibson thinks so, too. Yes, BadCo is tech-heavy. Heavily.

Present-day cyberpunk. Because we're now living in the cyberpunk universe.

The "bad company" of the title is the world's largest military corporation, and it invades America.

(BTW, I started this thread here last year. Just so you know...)

RE: Cyberpunk anyone?

I wrote a comic book series based on a combination of Heroes (the TV show), Judge Dredd (the comic) and Ghost in the Shell (the anime).

I also drew a lot of inspiration from the Cyberpunk role-playing game so it's got some cyberpunk in it like cyborgs, booster gangs, computer networks and a post apocalyptic setting with downtrodden masses, corporate greed and government plots.

I have plans for 52 issues, so I'm constantly working on it. Just not for Screnzy.
