I reread William gibson’s sprawl series (neuromancer, count zero, and burning chrome) and Neil stephenson’s snow crash every couple of years. They both get more and more prophetic each time (about some things anyway).
Oooo, this is a really tough question for me. I don’t tend to re-visit cyberpunk works, partially because there’s so much new content to consume and partially because I don’t want to get burnt out on those works. For example, when I was younger I watched Hackers and The Matrix so often that I have them both memorized, down to the inflection each line is delivered. Now if I try watching either of those movies I’m really just comparing them to my memory, not really watching them.
To answer your question though, I’ve definitely re-visited Tron 2.0 multiple times. That’s one of the few “cozy” games for me where just the act of playing is fun to me; just the basic core gameplay loop. It doesn’t matter what level I play, I enjoy it. I feel like any other video game I revisit always has “that one part” I really don’t want to replay, but Tron 2.0 has so many great visuals I just love being in that world.
Other than that… hmm… maybe Blade Runner 2049 or Elysium. Those are new enough to me that they aren’t stale but I’m also not obsessive about re-watching them. And I find both of them interesting.
I’ve listened to the Neuromancer BBC Audio Drama multiple times since it’s short enough that I can just listen to it randomly. I don’t tend to re-read books or re-watch anime since it takes so long to get through those and like I said, there’s other (newer) content I could be disappointed by instead!
Psycho-Pass! It’s my favourite anime and Imo the best cuberpunk anime there all
I think Altered Carbon is what I’ve reread most. Neuromancer is probably second.
Robocop was the first true Cyberpunk movie I’ve watched as a kid and I keep coming back to it every two years.
The original System Shock is one of my all-time favorite games, and the remake really did it justice.
On that note, a bit of a deep cut - Osman/Cannon-Dancer is a beautiful fever dream of a game I wish got more recognition. It’s a beat 'em up involving a martial artist tasked with killing a manmade god, thrust into a borderline incomprehensible web of betrayal as his former comrades all turn on him. The english release is kind of rough, which makes it actually incomprehensible at times. It’s also a sort-of sequel to Capcom’s Strider. I’d recommend it to any fan of EYE: Divine Cybermancy for the vibes alone.
imho ‘The Stars My Destination’ is cyberpunk.
A scuzzy space tramp is deliberately left to die in the asteroid belt. He manages to reach Earth, where he hides out in a mental hospital while plotting his revenge. He turns himself into a cyborg and leads the police on a system wide manhunt. In the end he threatens to destroy the whole world.
