I’m tired of hard-boiled detectives and mercenaries with augmentations. I want some cyberpunk stories with middle-finger-in-the-air, anti-authority, non-confirmist, angry punks. Can anyone give me some recommendations? Movies, games, books, whatever. Just something with a punk rock attitude… more than Johnny Silverhand.
I’m thinking things like Hackers, or Burst City, or the SINless duology, or maybe Cookie Cutter (which I haven’t played). I’m annoyed that I can’t think of more than that…
And I’m hoping KILLTUBE actually comes out. Although while it looks extremely punk, I’m not sure if it’s angry punk. We’ll see.

I have a copy of Josan’s “The_Future_is_Now / Neon_Rising” and it’s maybe the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever laid eyes on. The photos don’t really do it justice, it’s just page after large page of jaw-dropping, gritty, detailed cyberpunk illustration. Like if Mœbius was infected with some digital virus. And it tells a story and follows characters through the world he’s created, and there’s some limited text at the end. If you can get hold of a copy (no idea if that’s difficult or not), it’s seriously remarkable.
Oh, Deathburger! He’s the guy that made those cool covers for the Sprawl trilogy. I didn’t realize he had a narrative book, neat!
