      I'd argue that cyberpunk wasn't primarilly about the net or cyberwear, it was about: * a visual aesthetic * a "street" / punk / outsider aesthetic * a sense of rootless anomie Recall that Gibson was influenced by "Beats" : people who don't fit in and thus fall into intersticeshttps://twitter.com/DaddyWarpig/status/1205257697429352450 …

      Blade Runner got retroactively made into Cyberpunk. No cyberwear, no Net, but Cyberpunk stole everything else, so… Cyberpunk.

      2/ I recently started re-reading Neuromancer and it struck me entirely differently at age 48 than at age 13. It's not - primarily - a story about a guy with cyber implants. It's about a guy with no friends, far from home, trying to kill himself. That's more "Beat" than SF.

      3/ I was thinking recently about Blade Runner. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is set in an underpopulated world because of plagues. Blade Runner has very dense street scenes - overpopulation? And yet, it FEELS lonely. I thought about how and why that is.

      4/ In the street scenes you see huge masses of people ... but our viewpoint character, Deckard, never speaks to them. He talks briefly to a noodle bar vendor, but they don't share a language and no communication occurs. Deckard is on crowded streets, but is entirely alone.

      5/ Deckard has no friends. No colleagues. His interactions with Bryant are cool. With Gaff, fraught with danger. All of his interactions have massive power imbalances, either up or down.

      6/ That sense of loneliness, alienation, and massive power imbalances - with the corporations towering over you with their billboards and the government with its blimps - seems to be the aesthetic heart of cyberpunk. /exeunt

      Cyberpunk: High-tech, low-life. Solitude, melancholy and simulation based prosthetics as replacement for friends. Cyberpunk is weighted atmosphere of atomization, as if connection is only a matter of data and utility as opposed to comfort and warmth.

          Being a 'sperg the only thing about cyberpunk that wouldn't be a paradise is the dirt. Excuse me I want my roboticized neon-lit apartment to be -clean- thank you very much.
