I really liked this first part of your documentary. I learned a lot of things about the genre that I did not know prior to this. Great job! However, I am unsure why you presented the table top games Cyberpunk and Shadowrun the way you did. I purchased both when they first came out. The way you describe each was accurate, but it seemed to credit Shadowrun with a lot of features that Cyberpunk had used first. I just thought I would point that out, for the sake of chronological order. I am not going into details though. Anyone interested should research it for themselves.

It wasn't until I really learned a lot more about Cyberpunk as a genre that I realized that RoboCop is 100%, top to bottom, a Cyberpunk film. It touches on so many economic, political, and philosophical themes, all while carrying a sheen of smug satire that holds up so well to this day in Neoliberal America. It's an incredible film.

It's the style. It's 90% the style that makes Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk. 10% low life's in high tech worlds. I mean we are drawn to this bright neon colored aesthetic irl too. It's why everyone wants led strips and led lights etc. It's why my living room is blue, red and purple at the moment. Why neon red light comes form the back of my tv contrasting against the blue making more purples in between. We like the look. For all this "we love nature and hate concrete jungles" nonsense. Many of us actually love the concrete jungles. The lights the constant 24/7 never sleeping city where something is always happening somehwere. And wr like the idea of danger. Er like the idea of being on the edge at all times. Er dont actually like it when it's like that. At least most of us don't. But we like the idea. We idolize those that live on the edge. We wish we didn't give a fk too.

@@godofchaoskhorne5043 today's cyberpunk is, not cyberpunk as envisioned in the 80's. Today's cyberpunk media is hopelessly relying on the nostalgic 80's effects of Blade Runner, and I get the appeal, but regardless of that, Cyberpunk had stories to tell, meaningful stories that had philosophical complexities and moral ambiguity about life, humanity and machines. The downfall of Cyberpunk came when it became mainstream, all thanks to Hollywood. Due to the appeasing aesthetics, capitalist companies have capitalized on the rule of cool, subverting the message of cyberpunk in a very hilarious manner. So, I don't agree with you on this, as per cyberpunk from the 80's and the stories surrounding it that Kickstarted the genre, mainly, the writings of Gibson, PKD and the likes(especially PKD). As for cyberpunk media of today, I would agree with you of that, in some sense.

I'm thankful I jumped onto this timeline in 81 like I did. So what I got was enough. I'm glad this documentary took me back and put into perspective the things that were vague or revealed things I did not know at all. I look forward to the other ones.

I would point to Alfred Bester’s 1956 novel, ‘The Stars, My Destination’, as a benchmark work in proto-cyberpunk. It has an anti-hero decked out in cybernetic enhancements, corporations with staggering amounts of power and a bartender robot who casually announces the meaning of life. George Alec Effinger’s ‘When Gravity Fails’ is also an underrated cyberpunk novel, which takes place, interestingly enough, in a slum in the Middle East called ‘Budayeen’. There is actually a Cyberpunk 2020 module for this setting.

​@@Br4ntburzI had taken a Sci-Fi literature course in college. Prior to this class, I had not read much Sci-Fi. We were supposed to read 'Neuromancer' in the class for the Cyberpunk section of of our course, but it was dropped in favor of Philip K. Dick's, 'A Scanner Darkly'. The premise of 'Neuromancer' and Cyberpunk as a whole really intrigued me, prompting me to do some independent research. I stumbled across 'The Stars, My Destination', read it and then 'Neuromancer' over my winter break. It is fascinating how influential Alfred Bester was and still is, but it is not widely known. Heck, he won the first Hugo Award for his first book, 'The Demolished Man'.This is more or less a paraphrase of a quote I read somewhere: Someone said Alfred Bester is responsible for making Sci-Fi less about phallic shape rockets and men in tights traipsing around the galaxy and more about morally objectionable characters and intense action. For anyone else with an interest in Cyberpunk and has not read this book, definitely check it out! It shows its age in some places, particularly in its social views, but this book defined Cyberpunk as we know it, today.

Just wonderful. One aspect of Blade Runner is how much of a pioneering music-video it was in some ways. The film has sequences each with their own Vangelis pieces, fitting in perfectly with the editing and visuals, which I believe is key to how it is so endlessly re-watchable. I recall getting out of the train station in Ginza, Tokyo for the first time and realising that no photograph could capture the sensory overload, and especially the roar surrounding me. But music video gives that sense of transportation.

Yeah, which is captured really well in the Esper Edition bootleg of the Vangelis soundtrack. I think Villeneuve and Zimmer + Wallfisch did a pretty good job in 2049 in trying to recreate that, but it doesn't live up to Vangelis (and part of me really wants to know how it would've ended up had Jóhannsson been able to do it all).

Syd is very overlooked, helped codify the visuals with alien and blade runner. The pressures to rush movies/games out now a days forces all the production art and thus the overall quality of the media and genre to stagnate. Concept visualisers like him are gone, maybe for good. His books are treasures that will increase in price as they transform from discontinued to the status of artifact suitable for a museum.

There is very little point. Cyberpunk was heavily commoditized and neutered in the 90s, without anything of worth being added since. It’s really a zombie genre. It would take something that changed it into something different to revive aspects of it. Part of the problem is that we are really living in a boring, watered down version of the dystopia depicted in CP in the 80s. It’s hard to make something that feels fresh. I think the author of the video is realizing that.

We're living in the opening chapters of a trippy Cyber Punk novel right now! 2020 is like chapter 1.

Considering the timeline of cyberpunk 2077... We are dangerously close.

Indigo Gaming: This is so beautifully put together and researched, obviously a labour of love. Congratulations and many thanks. Tiny detail: Ridley Scott bought the rights to the Blade Runner title from William Burroughs, who'd published a short text with that name in the late 70s. Interesting imagery but no connection with 'Do Androids...' Burroughs received a very welcome (at the time) $500. I had this information from the man himself in a Camden Town pub (vodka and coke for Bill) just after he'd given a reading at Camden's Compendium Books. Burroughs is actually mentioned in the movie credits. Trivial stuff I know, but us cyberpunk fans dooo love our triv. NB...what ever happened to Chris Cunningham's film adaptation of Neuromancer?

@@omalone1169 Sadly, Compendium Books, which used to be on Camden High Street, closed its doors in Octobre 2000 - too much competion from the big chains like Waterstones etc. But it used to be THE best indie bookshop in London, and a lot of famous writers walked through its doors. Including I imagine William Gibson, who obviously knows his London, judging by Mona Lisa Overdrive and Pattern Recognition. For more about Compendium, I recommend the Wikipedia entry, very comprehensive and with some interesting links. Maybe you could tell me what Haussmann's is?
