What's this movie?

I already own Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, Snow Crash, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. And I know of William Gibson. But I haven't heard of any good/great cyberpunk novels written recently.

I'd love to read some books with either the MC having cybernetic enhancements, or cybernetics commonly being in the world. But it's not a deal breaker if it doesnt have it.

Looking for movies with cyberpunk type cities, basically just Blade Runner 2049. Any other movies like that?

Think like Coruscant from Star Wars.

The underrated Canadian SciFi show is about a cop from a future where corporations are the government who gets stranded in the past with a group of ‘terrorists’ bent on rewriting history.

It’s mostly set in the then-present, but there are lots of flashbacks to the future.

I’d been trying to find the show for a while, but it hadn’t been on streaming until recently. Give it a try!

STRAY CAT STRUT by Raven’s Dagger is a cyberpunk progression fantasy LitRPG. It’s a Royal Road published web serial that has since made the transition to ebook and paperback. It is the story of Catherine “Cat” Leblanc as she lives in a cyberpunk dystopia where the world is regularly invaded by the Antithesis, a bunch of Zerg-like aliens that consume biomass and turn them into horrifying monsters.

Thankfully, for humanity, the humans have the patronage of a race of aliens called the Protectors. The Protectors have a very strange way of trying to help humanity. Rather than just evacuating the planet or arming humanity with technology capable of protecting them, they instead come up with an elaborate scheme to arm humans with technology they can download off a catalog with “points.” They only get these points for killing aliens.

Only a small handful of individuals get chosen to be able to kill for points but they rapidly become the richest, most powerful people in the world. Furthermore, they are able fo generate technology that can transform human society. Fortunately, these individuals, called “Samurai” are mostly selfless sorts who want to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, they’re also people with the morality of violent video game protagonists. They kill aliens just fine but aren’t very good at solving Earth’s many social ills.

Cat finds herself struggling to balance the dangers of her new position as a samurai with the responsibilities of her job running an orphanage with her lover, Lucy. Cat is a lesbian and in a committed relationship, which is something that I think is rare enough in fiction that it deserves commentary. She is somewhat uneducated and has to be led by her AI through a lot of the implication of the technology that she finds herself in possession of.

The first book is basically a video game crossed with Die Hard. Cat and her orphans, “The Kittens” are visiting a museum downtown when the city is attacked by the Antithesis. She’s empowered by the Protectors as a samurai and has to up her cybernetics, armor, and weapons while trying to keep everyone alive for as long as possible.

Saying this is just brainless fun isn’t a good description of the book. There’s actually a lot of clever cyberpunk social commentary on the world and some really funny satire too. It is a lot of action and funny jokes, however, like a pyromaniac nun. I don’t much care for how the Kindle version of the book is formatted and recommend the audiobook version over it. Still, I had a lot of fun with this book and will be picking up the sequel.

Anything goes - from what has been done before to what you'd like to see that hasn't yet been portrayed.

Happy Halloween and Day of the Dead
