What IS cyberpunk fiction?

Cyberpunk - basically science fiction set in a heavily computerised future, in which hacking the computers generally features as a major part of the plot. Often with virtual reality, or other exotic technologies.

To give an example that you'll recognise, The Matrix movie would be considered pretty core cyberpunk material, for instance.

The original cyberpunk novel, that spawned the (sub-)genre and gave it its name was Neuromancer, by William Gibson. I'm truly sorry to say that I still haven't read it.

Don't feel bad. I didn't know what the term meant either. Even though I read a fair bit of it.

Haha.

Well, I hate science fiction, and I hate computers even more, although I'm pretty good at them (that comes along with the unfortunate disease called computer addiction, and that's a reasult of an even more unfortunate disease that I like to call always-feeling-like-there's-something-that-needs-to-be-done-on-the-computer-right-when-I-log-off)

Sooo science fiction strictly about computers... not me

(I've also never seen the Matrix. Or Neromancer.)

Some of my stuff might not even be considered cyberpunk, because its not in the future and no one goes into virtual reality-----but the main focus is primarily focused on technology and robots.........I dont even know if I write cyberpunk.

You might want to try Tad William’s Otherland series. It isn’t as ‘grimy’ as other sci-fi, but it has its roots firmly entrenched in the ‘net, albeit a near-future, VR approximation.
