Has this site failed? | The Internet Crashed
http://theinternetcrashed.com/2010/12/has-this-site-failed
It's a cyberpunk future! Has this site failed? Part of the motivation for creating this site was to gauge interest in cyberpunk as a theme, particularly one to explore for a future game. The lack of interest in contributing writing and the lack of interest in participating in comments (currently 0 comments on the cyberpunk-themed game post I wrote a few weeks ago) seems to indicate that the interest isn’t as great as I had hoped. Feed for comments on this post. As far as it goes as some kind of proactive...

Religion in Cyberpunk | The Internet Crashed
http://theinternetcrashed.com/2011/02/religion-in-cyberpunk
It's a cyberpunk future! Let’s take a look at what is often a touchy subject: religion. How does it fit within cyberpunk? If you’re interested in reading about religion in science fiction in general, I highly recommend a wonderful series of posts on the topic. Over at Chris Bateman’s “Only a Game” blog. A really great look at how religion is in various stories and major science fiction shows. In general, we don’t see much religion in cyberpunk directly, although we see obvious themes. Neo. Organized reli...

Exploration in Cyberpunk | The Internet Crashed
http://theinternetcrashed.com/2011/02/exploration-in-cyberpunk
It's a cyberpunk future! This week, let us consider the theme of exploration in cyberpunk works. How it shapes the world and how it could be expanded. This is likely why the cyberspace plays such a big part in the stories, because it’s the only frontier available to the disaffected individual. And, almost miraculously, the network is virtually unbounded so there is no end to this frontier. The loners go off to the last place uncontrolled by the domineering forces to play and plot and explore. I may be wa...

Immortality in Cyberpunk | The Internet Crashed
http://theinternetcrashed.com/2011/01/immortality-in-cyberpunk
It's a cyberpunk future! Immortality is a recurring theme in many fiction stories. It tends to appeal to the part of us that fears death, or at least wants to hold it off until we’re ready. Immortality, while desirable, is sometimes seen as a bad thing in stories. Cyberpunk, of course, has its own twist on the subject. Let’s take a look at some examples. The first example has to be the Dixie “flatline” in Neuromancer. A second example comes from a movie I watched recently called Robot Stories. To me, dow...

The next evolution of cyberpunk? | The Internet Crashed
http://theinternetcrashed.com/2011/02/the-next-evolution-of-cyberpunk
It's a cyberpunk future! The next evolution of cyberpunk? I’m heading to a conference for the “day job” part of my life next week, so I might not have time to post. So, I’ll leave you with an open-ended question to discuss: what’s the next step in cyberpunk? Have taken this into consideration. As I’ve also written before. So, what do you think? What has to change to modernize cyberpunk? Let’s see some discussion! Feed for comments on this post. Comment by Rampant Coyote. On February 24, 2011 at 1:14 AM.
