Regarding cyberpunk

I'm going to start on Permutation City by Greg Egan. Good choice?

It's been quite a few years since I've read a sc-fi, Flow, My Tears was my last go. I found it disappointing considering the reverence for PKD.

I'm interested in this well, posting the obvious.

I liked altered carbon, but it's xXEDGYASHECKXx tier.

In regards to works that live up to it, obviously Bladerunner.

regarding what people are doing: At the expense of sounding like a complete pleb my favourite games studio is producing a cyberpunk game (cyberpunk 2077). Might b cool.

Cyberpunk exists more in videogames and movies than literature. Mirrorshades is the most well known anthology. Your best bet for cyberpunk lit is probably 80s sci fi magazines.

I really like "The Diamond Age" and all of its ideas, but it's really more post-cyberpunk if anything.

I also really enjoyed Snow Crash and Altered Carbon.

Would also be looking for more recommendations, especially for cyberpunk mixed with noir

Basically any film or text that deals with our relationship to technology in an intelligent way. Most of the good books have already been posted.

film:
Akira
GITS
Ex Machina
Minority Report
the Matrix

games:
Deus Ex
uh...other deus ex games i guess

Frankenstein, in a way, although it's gothic romance-horror, is kind of a prototype for this kind of fiction.

1) None.
2) Nothing worth reading.

Unfortunately, this is accurate. Cyberpunk has been more successful in visual media, in books it's a lacking and underdeveloped subgenre.

Bleeding Edge by good old Pinecone, sorta. It is a cyberpunk story set in our past of 2001 but we're technically living in a Cyberpunk world this century.

You better watch movies and anime for cyberpunk mate

Read the Neuromancer sequels, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive

Stross and Watts write secret cyberpunk
