Hey guys if you would be kind enough to give me some feedback on the world that I have crafted in my novel that would be greatly appreciated!

Pyramid-3, home to nearly twenty million residents, is a tiered metropolis offering shelter from the harsh, uninhabitable heat outside. Its rich multicultural environment, blending diverse ethnicities and beliefs, makes it a fascinating place to live.

The Neohub: Stretching from the ground level to the 150th floor, this densely populated area is filled with residential spaces, businesses, shops, and industrial zones. Known for its lower-income residents—'Hubbians'—who earn under forty thousand TechCredits (TCs) annually, it houses some of the most economically challenged parts of Pyramid-3. Due to high crime rates, the Bureau advises carrying protection when in the area as danger is almost certainly always around the corner.

The Circuit District: Spanning the 151st to 278th floors, this energetic sector is famous for its vibrant social scene. With residents earning between forty-one thousand and eighty thousand TCs, crime remains a prevalent, especially in the lower floors of the sector.

The Greenery: Occupying floors 279 to 369, The Greenery is an affluent, lush area renowned for its luxurious living conditions. Incomes range from eighty-one thousand to five hundred thousand TCs, and its name reflects the greenery and elegance that characterize this desirable sector.

The Meadows: Extending from floors 370 to 484, The Meadows is home to some of the wealthiest individuals in Pyramid-3. Crime is rare here, with residents more likely to die of old age than violence. Incomes range from over five hundred thousand to twenty-one million TCs, and it is a haven for celebrities and elites.

Providence: The most exclusive sector, Providence is hidden from the rest of the population, with access highly restricted. Information about this enclave is scarce, and no images are available on the Infosurf. Residents enjoy unparalleled security and privacy, with annual incomes exceeding twenty-one million TCs.

In this world, you have The Bureau which acts essentially as the FBI liasoning with other pyramids that Humanity is holed up in.

In this world, The Bureau functions as the equivalent of the FBI, coordinating with other Pyramids where humanity is confined. Power lies in the hands of a coalition of corporations owned by Blackstone Capital, an investment group that essentially controls everything. Augmented crime syndicates rule the streets, while government-sanctioned augmented hitmen are employed by the wealthy, executives, and politicians to carry out assassinations.

Are these the same thing ? For example, in William Gibson books when 2 characters are communicating in distance, does the signal goes to the cyberspace ? Is there any « normal » computers with interfaces on a screen ? I can’t remember any mention of cellphones or normal computers in the books but I might be wrong.

When playing Cyberpunk 2077 I understood that cyberspace = internet but it is still not explicit on why hackers have to connect troughs neural implants and cyber consoles

Why does hackers have to use cyber consoles with neural implants if there is normal computers ? Is this just how hacking works in those universes ? So does that means cyber consoles are only used by hackers ? How do « normal » people communicate on the internet/cyberspace ?

The fact that there was a corporate war that occurred in the borderlands universe makes it feel pretty cyberpunk to me

How do you guys get your fix of cyberpunk? For some, it's books. For others, jacking into a good game. For me, I like to put together cyberpunk EDC kits and outfits (in the shopping cart, never to hit purchase *), my day job in IT, and learning coding/cybersecurity by night! Also do a lot of hardware tinkering!

Creaturepunk is not just another 'punk' genre—it's a revolutionary fusion of magic and tech, set in the electrifying realm of Dimm City, where anthropomorphic creatures known as Sporos and other weirder inhabitants navigate a city on the edge of chaos. If you're drawn to cyberpunk but crave endless options in character creation, you'll dig Dimm City RPG!

In the Dimm City RPG, your choices shape the city and the fate of its citizens. Will you fight for truth, or will you seize power by any means necessary?

The Dimm City Field Guide and SysOps manual are Kickstarting Halloween week! Back us up and get the hookups!!!

Big thanks for the eyes!!!!

I decided to write a screenplay for a cyberpunk film that feels different than what we’ve gotten so far. To me, there have been great films but none that have ever really personified the genre (except maybe The Matrix and both Blade Runner films). But I want to hear feedback from the community:

If you had the chance to create your perfect cyberpunk film, what elements would you want included?

Thanks for answering!

Much like grimdark has a ridiculous number of definitions, cyberpunk is only barely better defined. Mike Pondsmith probably came closest with "high tech, low life" but what that means is often nebulous. My definition is probably closer to a subgenre in "Cyberpunk Noir" where so many stories take the tropes of detective and crime fiction before putting them in a science fiction setting. This is mostly due to Blade Runner but also in a lot of Gibson's and other genre pioneer's stories. After all, Neuromancer is a heist story. Part of it is the fact crime stories are visceral ways of illustrating that the system has failed some segment of society and contrasts nicely with the fact cars can now fly.

It's an interesting question and perhaps why cyberpunk keeps producing content but doesn't seem like it's a thriving genre. Because people don't identify it as strongly with recent products.

The cyberpunk genre is my favorite of all time. I love everything that has to do in cyberpunk. Movies, books, video games, and anime. I was seeing if you guys had any book recommendations besides the main ones I’ve already read and loved: Neuromancer, Snow crash , Altered Carbon , and Ready player one

Thanks guys in advance!

Anyone knows this song where the music video is two characters on futuristic motorcycles being chased by a killer robot? I love the video but can't find it as I can't remember the song name.

Full story.

The deserts were harsher now, but they'd grown harsher so slowly over time that he never noticed. When he was young, there were lines of scrub, and fox tracks, and birds of prey flying slowly miles over the plain. At night the deserts would erupt in shrieks and skitters. Today it was empty and silent, day and night. Only the winds changed, blowing legions of dust over the flats. He sometimes felt like he lived on the surface of the moon. Which made it especially surprising when, through his grime-covered kitchen window, he saw a silver sedan roll up to the house.

The woman wanted an interview. She belonged to a publication he'd never heard of. She wanted to see what had become of the greatest star robot boxing had ever seen, to come face to face with its fallen messiah. She never forgot her dad's absolute concentration on the radio when his fights were live. What made him different, they all said, was his ability to bring some ferocious creativity out of his machine. He could project himself into its circuitry and make it move like a living, intelligent creature. His robots had fury, they sought vengeance. He won the World Championships as a thirteen year old, with a retired training dummy he found in a junkyard. He was hailed as a genius on the level of Mohammad Ali.

They sat in couch chairs in his living room, dominated by a dense Turkish rug.
"How long have you been living out here?," she asked.
"Oh, probably about forty years now. I moved back after the war, meaning to get the farm running again but it was no use, without water." he said. "Whereabouts are you from, by the way?"
"Seattle, but originally I'm from Salt Lake."
She usually just said Seattle; something about this old man sitting comfortably in his lounge chair, in his cluttered living room in the middle of nowhere, compelled her to be honest.
"May I ask, how do you usually spend your days?"
He laughed. "Usually about right here," he said. There was a bookshelf filled with yellow paperbacks behind him. "I write to my friends, over email, you know. And Toby gets two walks a day. Weekends I go into town, pick up some things."
"Were you ever married?"
"Oh yes, for a long time. My Mary died about 15 years ago. Are you?"
"Well, I'm engaged. The wedding's not until next year."
"Bah, you should just do it now, if it's real. You never know how much time you'll get."
She laughed. "Do you have any children?"
"No, no," He said, shaking his head. "Mary couldn't, but we never wanted any. Toby gives me plenty to worry about."

"Do you mind if I show you a picture?" she asked. She handed him a copy of the photo printed in newspapers across the country the day he won the World Championships. He is sat next to his robot, a big smile on his face, with his coach Charlie Kenton behind him.
The photo absorbed his attention for a moment. "Not everyone gets a day like that," he said.

They talked for four or five hours. When she got back in her car, she wasn't sure if she had a story, but it didn't bother her. In fact, she was thinking about quitting.

He watched her car roll off, trailing clouds of dust behind it. When she was gone, the desert reasserted its silence. He poured himself a glass of grapefruit juice from the jug in the fridge.

Then he walked over to his clunky old desktop computer, turned it on, and typed a command into its text-only interface. The thick Turkish rug parted in the middle, then each side slid apart, one revealing a staircase with glowing yellow lights on the base of each step. He stood up from the desk, grapefruit juice in hand, and entered his gleaming robot workshop.

Heyy, i'm new here. I'm desperatly looking for cyber/futuristic room inspos. I've been wanting to create a cool gaming room but cant seem to find any real room inspos that arent 3D art. please help me😭🫶🏻

I love Cyberpunk and would like to read more books with that Genre! I've read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick and all Ghost in the Shell Novels. "Neuromancer" by William Gibson and "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson are my current reads and I'll probably finish them in the next few days.

Another tool for cyberpunk stories. But this one is based on real science. Scientists have discovered that rubbing Yellow #5 dye on skin (rat and human) makes the skin transparent and reveals the blood vessels and organs! Not a lie! Read the article for yourself. Then think about how this could be used in a cyberpunk story.

I designed both of these posters and am selling it! They're made for an AI system i'm trying to release the v1 of (think of how Johnny Silverhand appears in Augmented Reality throughout the Cyberpunk 2077 game for reference).

The female you're seeing is CATAPHRACT, the first main AI. Her design is based off an old design I saw for a convention and this was commissioned by fakhriaziz.

They are all 20 x 14 inch, glossed! If you are interested in buying, feel free to buy at

These posters were designed with Cyberpunk and Nier in mind for the most part! I did most of the work, but the main female you see is based off of an image from a sci fi convention years ago, it was done under commission by

In specific, this poster is for an AI system i've been developing to act sort of like Cortana from Halo while running completely locally. I released an alpha but the v1 (releasing soon) has a HUGE difference in visuals and functionality! The posters are 14x20 inches and glossed!

If you like them, you can buy both at https://walkerindustries.xyz/shop

Additionally, if these sell well enough i'll be able to put the AI on a VR glasses i've been slowly building!
