It follows, then, that the "typical cyberpunk writer" does not exist this person is only a Platonic fiction. And, somehow, group labels never quite fit the individual, giving rise to an abiding itchiness.
Scarcely any writer is happy about labels - especially one with the peculiar ring of "cyberpunk." Literary tags carry an odd kind of double obnoxiousness: those with a label feel pigeonholed those without feel neglected. This movement was quickly recognized and given many labels: Radical Hard SF, the Outlaw Technologists, the Eighties Wave, the Neuromantics, the Mirrorshades Group.īut of all the labels pasted on and peeled throughout the early Eighties, one has stuck: cyberpunk. Their allegiance to Eighties culture has marked them as a group as a new movement in science fiction. This book showcases writers who have come to prominence within this decade.
