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? Not sure if it could be called cyberpunk, 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!
