Cyberpunk is not fresh in the forefront of our minds thanks to Cyberpunk 2077, but did you know that the video game is based on the book Neuromancer from 1984? And did you know that Neuromancer was written by William Gibson who is regarded by many as the father of cyberpunk? Well, you know now. In this video I'll talk all about this speculative corner of science fiction, to tickle curiosities and guide writing alike. From the 80's origins to Blade Runner 2049, I'm diving into all of it.

Note: I focused on Western Cyberpunk, but the genre does also appear in early anime and manga. So that's a whole other branch of history you can check out

Also note: this video contains some flashy lights that may not be optimal for photosensitive viewers
