List of cyberpunk works

The following is a list of works commonly ascribed to the cyberpunk genre of science fiction. While some of these works — such as "Neuromancer" and "Blade Runner" — have become accepted as archetypal examples of cyberpunk, the classification of others can be debated, or considered as examples of Postcyberpunk. Science-fiction theory, criticism, and fandom are all known for their contentious nature, just as SF writers are often celebrated for inventiveness. 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.

Furthermore, it should be noted that works published after 1993 are increasingly likely to be labeled "postcyberpunk", a term first applied to Stephenson's "Snow Crash."

List of films borrowing some cyberpunk elements

* "Alien" (1979), "Aliens" (1986), "Alien³" (1992), and "" (1997) — more horror/sci-fi related, however the environment, people and narratives portray a cyberpunk attitude. Also there are direct references which have inspired the Rivet Industrial culture, especially from the third sequel.
* "Heavy metal" (1981)
* "Escape from New York" (1981)
** "Escape from L.A." (1996)
* "Tron" (1982) — perhaps more of a technology-themed fantasy. "Tron" does involve a hacker physically entering the world of cyberspace, a realm full of video games (fittingly, since video games were Gibson's inspiration behind his cyberspace concept). However, the movie's world is not dark or dystopian nor its corporation evil; arguably, one could retroactively designate "Tron" postcyberpunk.
* "Runaway"
* "Brazil" (1985)
* "Back to the Future Part II" (1989)
* "Sneakers" (1992) — perhaps better categorized as a technothriller or mathematical science fiction
* "Universal Soldier" (1992)
* "Demolition Man" (1993)
* "" (1993) a special set in an alternative future with androids, post-apocalyptic cityscapes and timetravel.
* "Hackers" (1994)
* "Sci-Fighters" (1996)
* "Space Truckers" (1996)
* "Gattaca" (1997) — an SF film noir, this movie's emphasis on genetic engineering over computer technology might make "biopunk" a better term. It also includes a motif of space travel.
* "The Fifth Element" (1997)
* "Cube" (1997)
** "" (2002)
** "Cube Zero" (2004)
* "Cowboy Bebop" (1998) a space western setting with themes relating to biopunk and cyberpunk, such as genetic modification, cybernetics and hackers, and a film noir way of storytelling.
* "Soldier" (1998)
* "Ichi the Killer" (2001)
* "Code 46" (2003) — also biopunk
* "" (2004). The designs of Gigan, the Xilians and their technology show cyberpunk influences.
* "Final Fantasy VII Advent Children" (2004)
* "I, Robot" (2004)
* "Firefly/Serenity" (2005) a space western with elements of cyberpunk and biopunk.
* "The Island" (2005)
* "Children of Men"(2006)It is interesting to note that the more recent "Star Trek" movies, particularly "" (1996) and "Star Trek Nemesis" (2002), draw upon cyberpunk themes: malevolent cyborgs in the first case and malevolent clones in the second. Oddly, the Borg — arguably the most widely recognized cybernetic organisms in popular culture — originated as space opera villains in a distant-future story, not as characters from a dystopian near-future Earth. This may serve as a testament to the difficulty of categorizing science fiction.

Documentary films

* "Cyberpunk" (1990)
* "Cyberpunk Educator" (2003)

List of TV series

Note that TV series, by their very nature, can incorporate stories from a variety of different genres. For example, the original "Star Trek" included episodes of military science fiction ("Balance of Terror"), comedy ("The Trouble with Tribbles") and character-driven SF drama ("Is There in Truth No Beauty?"). It is therefore debatable whether an entire series can be classified as "cyberpunk" (or as any other SF sub-genre) based on a subset of its episodes. Furthermore, according to Lawrence Person's postcyberpunk thesis, writers since the mid-1990s have been incorporating cyberpunk tropes into their SF simply because those tropes are familiar — the same way a writer who grew up reading Asimov's Foundation series would write space opera stories full of hyperspatial Jumps. This behavior leads, presumably, to works which include cyberpunk themes in less dystopian contexts, with a wider variety of characters (not just razorgirls and burnt-out, drug-addicted hackers), and embracing other SF settings. The new series of Doctor Who includes episodes with cyberpunk influence, especially End of the World, The Long Game, Bad Wolf, The Parting of the Ways, New Earth, Fear Her and Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel. Cyberpunk is also an influence in Torchwood, a spin-off of Doctor Who set in Cardiff. Joss Whedon's "Firefly" series might be a good example: while its overall form is a "space western", individual episodes deal with human beings used as black-market organ carriers and with malevolent megacorps.
