While the genre existed before William Gibson, and a lot of its authors are leftists, it's always disappointed me that Gibson himself, the most well-known cyberpunk author, ended up just being an unremarkable shitlib. How can you write books that are basically critiques of capitalist alienation and commodification and then not be anti-capitalist?
