Is there specific criteria for what counts as "cyberpunk"?
I ask because I genuinely don't know. |

to quote wikipediatrics:
Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life."
there's usually lotsa techy and hackerish scum roaming about
william gibson writes THE books about the subject. |

its a subgenre of fantasy that includes the ability for humans to interface with machines, normally at a neural level. |

The Matrix
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Johnny Mnenomic (Movie sucks, but it's the closest you're gonna get to that genre)
Blade Runner |

^^^ true about Johnny Mnemonic, well at least Takeshi Kitano's in it.
Blade Runner
Ghost in the shell, but that's animation.. Robocop and Terminator ( the first one ) are kind of cyberpunk. Mad Max(1) was a cool movie as well. |
