Cyberpunk writing tips?
| >>323965
Not really, imho, cyberpunk can be as "cyber" as Ghost In The Shell and as little "cyber" as Watch_Dogs
| >>80166f I don't know if watch_dogs is really cyberpunk but I think I know what you're trying to say
| "High tech, low life."
Cyberpunk is predominantly about technology increasing social inequity and people (the "punks") trying to deal with it. Oftentimes they fail, sometimes they succeed, depending on whether you're writing a comedy or tragedy.
To quote William Gibson, grandfather of Cyberpunk: >"The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed."
| It is strongly suggested that you read some cyberpunk fiction before starting your first foray into it.

I'd say just take general genre-defining theme that >>324369 pointed out, and start writing already.
Howewer I'd reccomend against everything there is in cyberpunk genre beforehand, you'll probably be constantly afraid of copying it, even if it could be your own idea. Talking from experience.
If you've never been writing before, you need practice, not a strict genre restrictions.

| So recently me and some friends have been wanting to make a story but we never really had a genre in mind. It was only until yesterday that we decided to make our story in the cyberpunk genre and now I want to know if there's any tips I should know about? Thanks in advance
