What cyberpunk work (movie, book, tv show, etc.) would you say is the most “punk”? What has the best non-conformist middle-finger-to-authority “punk” feel?
I mean, it’s obviously Hackers, right? Nothing says “punk rock” like roller blading down the streets of NYC. Or maybe something more gritty like Hardware, with a cameo from Iggy Pop?
Obviously those are terrible examples. I was just trying to think of which cyberpunk work really captures the punk part of cyberpunk and I can’t think of any really good examples. I’m sure there’s something obvious I’m forgetting though.
How about Mr. Robot? Thought no one’d label it cyberpunk probably, but since you mentioned Hackers, I thought it might fit.
Hmm, that’s an interesting thought… Mr. Robot is a fantastic show and it definitely has a middle-finger-to-authority yet I never considered it to have a punk attitude. Good call!
