  • I guess you could call post-collapse stuff like Horizon Zero Dawn post-cyberpunk, but that kind of feels like a cop out

    But on your point, I think cyberpunk has, and will continue to evolve as our modern day technology develops. I don’t think that really makes a newer work post-cyberpunk, just different imaginations of a possible future.

    Defining cyberpunk, as with any genre, is difficult. Where is the line between sci-fi and cyberpunk? Is 2001: a Space Odyssey or even Metropolis cyberpunk? Maybe, maybe not. Star Trek or Star Wars, probably not (is it the aliens?)? Blade Runner? Almost certainly. But there are commonalities between all of those that are parts of the cyberpunk genre
