haha yeah, that was mostly a joke in mondo 2000 way back in the day lol.
but as a science fiction entertainment medium it's quite fascinating because it's not in the far future, it's like 20 or 30 years from now.
and a lot of the books that were written 20 or 30 years ago that started it are somewhat coming true, it's bizarre!
"Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that features advanced science and technology in an urban, dystopian future. On one side you have powerful mega-corporations and private security forces, and on the other you have the dark and gritty underworld of illegal trade, gangs, drugs, and vice. In between all of this is politics, corruption, and social upheaval."
hit's kinda close to home doesn't it?
mix that in with cybernetics, AI, and all the weirdness that comes with ubiquitous access to advanced technology everywhere and you get cyberpunk.
