I just removed Metropolis from examples of Cyberpunk. It had even been given the status of Ur Example! Really? More than Neuromancer? Metropolis is a SF dystopian work for sure, but it is an old-fashioned people-rise-up-against-an-oppressive-regime-and-usher-in-reform parable. The ending is optimistic about the ability of "the people" to reform society, something Cyberpunk is not. There is of course no trace of the impact of computers and information systems, but also none of the subversive, unintended uses of technology so characteristic of technology. Where too is the cultural blending and consumerism?
