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.

Last year I posted the previous version of this guide. Since the author just made a new version, I figured I'll keep posting it here. I like how there's now a 'midtempo cyberpunk' genre separate from the normal 'cyberpunk' genre.
As before, this is not made by me but by a user on reddit named khroshan.
You can view the full-sized image here or a version not hosted on reddit here.
They've been gone since 2017 and just came back two days ago?? Awesome, thanks!
I know right? The timing!
You have mystic powers. Either that, or a future-tech DeLorean.
