>In the moral universe of cyberpunk, we *already* know Things We Were Not Meant To Know. Our *grandparents* knew these things; Robert Oppenheimer at Los Alamos became the Destroyer of Worlds long before we arrived on the scene. In cyberpunk, the idea that there are sacred limits to human action is simply a delusion. There are no sacred boundaries to protect us from ourselves.

Wouldn't that make Orwell cyberpunk as well?

>Can it be anti-utopian or does it have to be dystopian?
Either. Not to talk about Mongolian flipbooks on /lit/ overmuch, but the GitS tv series is cyberpunk and it's not dystopian.
