It's always hard for me to find good newer cyberpunk novels. I can find random self-published novels all over the kindle store but it's hard to find new cyberpunk novels from actual publishers (with actual editors). So this list is really helpful for me. I've read some of them already and of the ones I know, I think this is a pretty solid list.

Altered Carbon - Richard K. Morgan (2002)
Pattern Recognition - William Gibson (2003)
The Windup Girl - Paolo Bacigalupi (2009)
River of Gods - Ian McDonald (2004)
Waste Tide - Chen Qiufan (2013; English translation 2019)
Infomocracy - Malka Older (2016)
Market Forces - Richard K. Morgan (2004)
The Body Scout - Lincoln Michel (2021)
Void Star - Zachary Mason (2017)
36 Streets - T. R. Napper (2022)

I would've expected this to be a season 2 announcement of the new The Ghost In The Shell anime, but the article calls it "A brand-new animation project based on Shirow Masamune's monumental cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell". It also says "Animation production for this new project will be handled by Science SARU, the studio behind the 2026 TV series." That makes it sound like the fact it's the same studio as the most recent anime is almost coincidental. Strange. I guess we'll found out more as details come out.

October 20. Less than a week away. Can't wait.

This trailer actually shows some of the plot and I'm finally interested in watching it now. At least it gives me some cyberpunk to watch before Neuromancer in January.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to produce alongside CD Projekt Red

I see two potential outcomes here. Either this movie never gets made or we'll wish it had never been made. Lorenzo di Bonaventura has previously produced movies such as Madame Web, Transformers: The Last Knight, the GI Joe movie Snake Eyes, and Doom: Annihilation (did you know they made a second Doom movie??). That isn't a good sign.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always excited for any new cyberpunk movie and I will watch it if it comes out. I just know to set my expectations low.

I'll admit I'm not a fan of life sim games so I won't be playing this one but if you enjoy life sims, this game looks really impressive.

I've posted about it before so I don't know how much I need to explain again but it's from the makers of Cloudpunk, which was a cozy cyberpunk game where you just drove a flying taxi around a cyberpunk city. Now you can run a ramen shop in that same cyberpunk city in Nivalis Nights!

GLITCH WITCH shares both the world and timeline of THE GHOST IN THE SHELL. On April 10, 2029, while Motoko Kusanagi and Aramaki are preparing to establish Public Security Section 9 (commonly known as “Ghost in the Shell”), a series of incidents erupt across the United States. As the FBI, AI researchers, and the military investigate, they witness a fateful clash: the battle between Project 2501, the “Puppet Master”—with whom Motoko Kusanagi merges at the end of THE GHOST IN THE SHELL—and a Solomon-class AI holding the fate of humanity in its hands!

This meme is over a year old but I don't think I've posted it here before.

8 months ago, this guy made an amazing cyberdeck and posted a 47-minute video explaining how he built it. And the comments were flooded with "that's not a real cyberdeck!" So he made this video to address the trolls.

The original singer for Fear Factory left the band a couple years ago so they've been touring with this new singer to play their old songs. This is their first new song with the new singer.

Author & Punisher talking about the machines he built to play industrial music live.

If you haven't heard Author & Punisher before, this song is a good example of what he does.

For those of you who enjoy reading long-form essays.
