WHAT IS CYBERPUNK?

A rep from Elecrow, a Hong Kong-based electronics company, reached out to us regarding their latest Kickstarter for the CrowPi2, an all-in-one solution to STEAM education. So, as always, when someone offers to send us something cool in exchange for a fair and frank review, we asked them to provide us with the deluxe model so that we could do more “extensive” and “unusual” testing.  And, as always, we were told no.

Hey, chummer. You’ve got a lotta guts admitting you don’t know the Cyberpunk 2077 release date. Since you’re obviously new around here, I guess you should know it’s being released on September 17, 2020.

The opening line to Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson sets the tone for a dark and gritty cyberpunk world that’s progressively looking more like the world of today. An uninformed reader would be hard-pressed to imagine the book being written during the 1980s, seeing as much of the once-speculative technology has been realized.

Richard Kadrey’s Metrophage says “Society is a Carnivorous Flower.” Written in 1988, Metrophage is a first wave cyberpunk novel with most of the usual trappings. There is no middle class anymore, just the super-rich and the dirt poor.

Well, it happened. We got the longest look at Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay and features since . . . a while ago. Admittedly, I was more of a Shadowrun kind of guy back in the day, only dabbling in Cyberpunk 2020 when I found someone willing to roll dice and not deal with dwarves, swords, and Gandalf. However, this recent live stream has converted me. I’m no longer reining in my expectations; I have succumbed to the hype. Let me show you why.

In a near future Los Angeles stands the Hotel Artemis, a sanctuary for criminals with a full-service nurse . . . for members only, of course. Things go unexpectedly wrong for a group of crooks when riots break out during a heist. Packing futuristic tech, they make their way to the Artemis and to sanctuary, or so they think.

All right, chums. Today, we’re gonna focus on a cyberpunk magazine that holds a special place in my heart, since they published my first story ever: Write Ahead: The Future Looms (shortened to WA/FL for convenience and amusement).

[email protected] jiggles, twists and contorts virtual models of proteins into procedurally generated shapes in order to study how those shapes affect their function. This is useful for studying diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, finding new antibiotics to fight resistant superbugs, and developing drug candidates that could block the ability of viruses like HIV and COVID-19 from attacking human cells.

NOOO! Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed!!! CD Projekt Red ripped the band-aid off immediately in their announcement via Twitter on Thursday, June 18, 2020. We can expect the Cyberpunk 2077 Release Date to be November 19, 2020.

Until about 2010, most people lived thoroughly two-dimensional lives. The general public was more or less limited to coordinates of the X & Y variety. Then came the Z-axis, the drone pilots, and the FAA drone registration.

Released in 1992, Sneakers flew (and continues to fly) under the radar cyberpunk fans. Cyberpunk 2020, the popular tabletop roleplaying game was published just one year prior to the movie’s release. Snow Crash, often regarded by fans as the point in which cyberpunk literature officially “died”, dropped the very same year as Sneakers.
