Re: What do you want to have a resurgence of popularity?

...Seriously? You want us to go back to the trench coats and leather boots cyberpunk of the 90's? I fail to see how that's relevant these days, although Deus Ex seems to be doing a pretty good job of not letting it die.

A lot of computer technology these days is fast approaching what cyberpunk authors envisioned. There's also a dystopian aspect in the widespread surveillance (see: The NSA), and the power & wealth of global corporations.

Even though we're not running around in black leather trenchcoats, the future is looking a lot more like cyberpunk, and a lot less like The Jetsons.

To crib from my post above

If we're talking some dystopian horror where super-rich amoral corporations live in glittering towers elevated above the horrendous wasteful squalor they create, inhabited by the disenfranchised poor who nonetheless have portable computers and internet acccess?

Go to fucking Dubai.

Or look at Pattern Recognition. Technology is ubiquitous to the point where it doesn't even register. People introduce themselves by their google results, and everything is utterly, utterly depersonalized with the only way that Cayce can find a community or a home in her jet-set lifestyle is to go on a message board.

Remind you of anyone?

We are cyberpunk, we just didn't keep the asthetics.

To be fair, I thought you meant the aesthetics. Because ...otherwise you'd just kind of be writing modern fiction. As you pointed out.
