List of cyberpunk works

The following is a list of works commonly ascribed to the cyberpunk genre of science
fiction. While some of these workssuch as Neuromancer and Blade Runnerhave
become accepted as archetypal examples of cyberpunk, the classification of others can be
debated. Furthermore, works published after 1993 are increasingly likely to be labeled
"postcyberpunk", a term first applied to Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
[1]
Consequently, all
categorizations are likely to be incomplete, contested or provisional.
Several observers, including the SF writer David Brin, have commented that cyberpunk
was not as original as the genre's boosters once claimed. Such works as Fritz Lang's movie
Metropolis (1927) contain elements that a 21st-century viewer might call "cyberpunk",
even though they predate the cyberpunk canon by many years. These works could be
labeled cyberpunk's "precursors", but a causal connection is not always clear.
