Any cyberpunk story recommendations like deus ex human revolution/deus ex

[Justanothergamer300]

I know it's not totally video game topic but it partly still relates.

I've been playing through Deus Ex Human Revolution, and something I just realized is that I enjoy cyberpunk stories.

So I'm asking the escapist do you have any recommendations books, tv, cartoons, anime, video games, movies anything with an interesting cyberpunk world

PS: Things I've seen The matrix trilogy, yea that's about it I know

Blade Runner is the obvious one. That film pretty much gave birth to cyberpunk (correct me if i'm wrong anyone).

William Gibson! Now! .. ahem... seriously, though. Start with Neuromancer and the rest of the sprawl series. You won't look back.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

^ Like he said: the Sprawl trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive).

And perhaps Johnny Mnemonic (kind of a prequel to Neuromancer).

Ghost in the Shell for anime. Both the movies, and the series "Stand Alone Complex" and "Second Gig" Actually, the setting itself in GitS is more of a "post augmentation" world.

 

[Avaloner]

Try out Shadowrun, a nice mix of cyberpunk and fantasy, there are videogames and pen and paper..along with alot of books.

Blade Runner is the obvious one. That film pretty much gave birth to cyberpunk (correct me if i'm wrong anyone).

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is the superior story version.

Ubik and just about all of Philip K Dick comes highly, highly recommended.

See if you can find a copy of the old game Journeyman Project, it's awesome

Ghost in the Shell is so good, it's not one of the best anime series I've seen, it's one of the best TV shows I've seen. I usually dislike most anime but Ghost in the Shell is pretty much devoid of any common anime traits I loathe.

 

[Hydro Imp]

pretty much what has been mentioned, although I will add Snow Crash to the list, it does have a lot of non cyberpunk elements in the story but it is in a cyberpunk world

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester


Cyberpunk 30 years before Cyberpunk and still one of the best.

Blade Runner is the obvious one. That film pretty much gave birth to cyberpunk (correct me if i'm wrong anyone).

i think it brought the genre to western audiences and gave it a more restrictive definition.

but cyber punk has always been there in comics the Airtight garage was an influence on ridley scott's film and much of the key element of cyber punk existed in the works of Osamu Tezuka as well as many other japenese and european graphic novelist up until its explosion in the 80's.

but Masunume Shirow Perfected the genre

(edit: i'm begining to feel i'm the only one who read the original ghost in the shell novels)

Does Systemshock count?
Not sure, never really got into the Cyberpunk genre.

 

[blipblop]

Aeon flux the old animated work of Peter Chung (he also made one of the animatrix episodes) not that live action movie

 

[cgentero]

Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2 are pretty cyberpunk in visuals and story.

 

[blipblop]

Rememberd a few more movies
Gattica, THX 1138, the fifth element,Tron, Johnny Mnemonic, Minority Report.

Only thing I haven't seen mentioned that semi-qualifies is Akira and maybe Cyber City Oedo 808, but yeah, Gibson's stuff (i'd stick to the books tho), Blade Runner, G.i.t.S. (and Stand Alone Complex), Shadowrun if you're RPGing it, as have all been mentioned. The Matrix has cyberpunk elements, but I'd hesitate at calling it full-blown .
