Having trouble with the theme?
RES users may experience conflicts with our custom theme, as RES is overzealous when applying its own styling (highlighting being a prime example) and breakages occur quite frequently. We have detailed how to fix a common highlighting issue here, and a more recent highlighting issue here. RES users may benefit from switching to NIGHT-MODE too. If you would prefer not to use our custom theme, you can disable custom themes globally in your reddit preferences (just untick "allow subreddits to show me custom styles" in the "display options" section), or locally by de-selecting 'Use subreddit style' at the top of this sidebar.

This was a weird and interesting read. Dystopian capitalist future where a marine biologist is investigating a colony of octopuses that might have developed human-level sentience. It has a lot of cyberpunk elements, such as AI-powered virtual companions, sentient fishing vessels that kidnap humans to work abord them, robot monks, and a rigger-style drone operator who can fuse with machine consciousness.
I was impressed by the intricacy of the story and the style of the writing. Hard to believe it was a debut novel. Anyway, thought I'd pass it on if others were interested.

Totally forgot about this flick. Such a good time for British cyberpunk.
the only thing I can think of would be that Tech-noir doesn’t necessarily have to be in the future, E.G Terminator is Tech-noir (like the club) but not necessarily a cyberpunk film since it’s focuses more on a sci-fi post apocalypse for its story.
Looking to get a new laptop for work. Any recommendations for a PC that looks CP? Looking for more current than vintage, I do need to use it. I was looking at the tough books, The Dell latitude. Closest thing to a briefcase computer. But I am open to suggestions Hi-Tech upgrade life TY
Hi,
I'm almost done reading Do Androids Dream..., and I would like to graduate to the next step towards cyberpunk literature. I'm contemplating one of the following:
(I had read Never Deal with a Dragon, and Night's Pawn. I liked the world and the 'pulp' feel a lot.)
So which do you recommend I go with?
I wasn’t the smartest at school, getting a mix of A’s to C’s. however I didn’t do an ATAR. Im good at problem solving but I’m not so good at engineering. I wouldn’t mind working with both software and hardware, but I’d love to know how to code anything and everything. Anyways I looking for some advice on different jobs or pathways you guys recommend. Thanks
If you could describe "cyberpunk" with sounds, what types of sounds come to mind? If you could give examples it would be great
