Alas, the Golden Age of Cyberpunk is behind us. Cyberpunk sensibilities seem to give way to steampunk and Victorian dark fantasy ones nowadays (read more about it in this book here). William Gibson refuses to give a green light to put his "Neuromancer" to the big screen, which I think is the right decision. It just needs to be really good, or not at all - and if all the modern Hollywood can come up with is another "Matrix" or "Minority Report" clone, then we are not there yet. However, art and fashion are keeping the style alive, and of course, we do have a lot of wonderful books to read.
