Including any movies, video games, books, anime, etc. What’s your favorite cyberpunk horror?

I’m thinking maybe movies like Hardware or video games like Observer, BloodNet, or maybe System Shock. I should admit I haven’t seen any of the weird body horror japanese cyberpunk like Tetsuo: The Iron Man though.

What else? Is Videodrome considered cyberpunk?

Isn’t the Lawnmower Man book a short story that has practically nothing to do with the movie?

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
