<p>Reading a puff piece about the upcoming Neuromancer adaptation for Apple TV, and thinking: is cyberpunk ALWAYS "depressing" (as the article asserts)? I mean, I can't instantly think of a cyberpunk narrative that isn't an action/noir thriller embellished with hyper-consumerism, tech-fetishisation, a general sense of moral/spiritual bankruptcy and/or a desire to transcend/escape a broken, physical world. Is there a <a href="/tags/cyberpunk/" rel="tag">#cyberpunk</a> title that does something other than this? <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#SciFi</a></p>
