    I also think it should be noted that, unlike most genres, cyberpunk has not had any major revolutions or massive changes to its design. The only story that I've seen challenge the structure of cyberpunk is Mr. Robot, and only by changing the setting to the real world. Since cyberpunk was a product of the 80s, this means that modern cyberpunk stories tend to feel a bit reprocessed and bland. It's a zombie genre, far from dead but certainly not alive.
