"When it first emerged more than 30 years ago, cyberpunk was hailed as
the most exciting science fiction of the ’80s. The subgenre, developed
by a handful of younger writers, told stories of the near future,
focusing on the collision of youth subcultures, new computer
technologies, and global corporate dominance. It was only ever a small
part of the total SF field, but cyberpunk received an outsize amount of
attention. Since then, its characteristic tropes have become clichés."
