Cyberpunk is an interzone between hard technologies, the sciences,
mysticism and nihilo-romantic surreality. Cyberpunk has a strong
garage band aesthetic. It grapples with the raw core of our near
future, its myths, its ideas, its coming practices. It is a pop
culture which is theorizing itself into a more cohesive and
self-determined existence.
Science perhaps is very
difficult without faith. Also there is no simple way of saying now
we have science, we don't need faith anymore.
Robert Sheckley
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: I know. That's why it's going to work. The
Matrix
Cyberpunk is an industrial myth of the near future, a new
techno-surreal fiction.

Spoon boy:
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only
try to realize the truth.
Neo:
What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo:
There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not
the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
The Matrix
Images, electronic continents, drift past the retina, moving towards
pure surface. In cyberpunk, the real, the virtual, the imaginal, the
artificial, the human and the machine (cyborg) are all seeking
re-invention, re-definition. Our vast technological changes are
shaping new forms of culture, social organization, and myth-making.
The real is leaking into the representational.
Cyberpunk is a radical interrogation of the technologies at work in
contemporary society.
