Cyberpunk
"High tech, low life."
"The street finds its own uses for things."
We all know the quotes and the books. But cyberpunk is more than a neon-soaked, cybernetic aesthetic, or a gritty dystopian science fiction genre. It is a subculture composed of two fundamental ideas: PUNK, and CYBER.
The PUNK: antiauthoritarian, anticapitalist, radical freedom of expression, rejection of tradition, a DIY ethic.
The CYBER: all that, but high-fuckin'-tech, ya feel? From DIYing body mods to using bleeding edge software to subvert corporate interests. It's punk for the 22nd century.
This is a community dedicated to discussing anything cyberpunk, be it books, movies, or other art that falls into the genre, or real life tech, projects, stories, ideas or anything else that adheres to these ideals. It's a place for 'punks from all over the federated Net to hang out and swap stories and meaningful content (not just pictures of city nightscapes).

I feel like an ill-equipped defective robot now, so I'd have my brain put into a mechanical body if it had nerve connection and took care of nutrients/respiration/immunity etc better/easier than now. Especially if I could be the size of a toaster but hook into bigger/different forms/devices easily. Also give me VR-headspace downtime.
I'd go for cryonics too if I could, if there was some contract with anybody that I'd be helping with betterment rather than profit. Sea or space would be cool.
