BT The P: Decided to clean this one up a bit while maintaining the core ideas of the original entry. It used to have most of the setting laid out in a single run-on sentence.
Ununnilium: Put it into our modern templating system and added more information on its literary roots. Liquid Sky is a great movie and all, and it is arguably `punk', but how is it cyberpunk? Max Chaplin: Would it be correct to say Cyber Punk = Sci Fi + Film Noir? (random passer-by): Yes, that's pretty correct. Gibson and Sterling were strongly influenced by Film Noir and also by the Depression-era "hardboiled private eye" detective pulp fiction that so influenced Film Noir. Raymond Chandler specifically was a strong influence, as was, oddly enough, Jules Verne. |
