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

Yeah the genre.

To summarise it's "a postmodern science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life."[1][2] It features advanced science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[3]

Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a near-future Earth, rather than the far-future settings or galactic vistas found in novels such as Isaac Asimov's Foundation or Frank Herbert's Dune.[4] The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias but tend to be marked by extraordinary cultural ferment and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its creators ("the street finds its own uses for things").[5] Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.[6]

"Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body." – Lawrence Person[7]"

And I mean, 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.

If you're looking for works anything by Gibson is worth picking up. Neuromancer for practially defining the genre, and his latest stuff like Pattern Recognition for a modern take. Outside that you've got Ghost in the Shell*, Blade Runner (defining the style more than the ideology), Deus Ex, or Serial Experiments Lain.

*Very much the begining of post cyberpunk, where the focus becomes those enfranchised by society and working within it, rather than outsiders attempting to disrupt the system.

Could list books and anime/managa endlessly, but those are where you really want to start.
