And the picture is from the Berlin's Sony Center.
Aaaahhh... Berlin... It really has this cyberpunk touch, IMHO. |

Berlin? Cyberpunk? Are you sure you aren't talking about Tokio? The Sony Center, well, okay. But the rest of the city... o_O

The question is: What do you mean with cyberpunk?

Was there ever a native cyberpunk genre which reflected the socio-economic and political aspects of the fictional genre (e.g., Japanese domination, ultra-violence, and the breakdown of government and society) that are common throughout American fiction? You know, stuff that had direct relevance to the society and culture it was written in using cyber and megacorps as metaphors to real life?
Because I get the impression there was not. 1970s and 80s Germany had other things to concern itself with. |

Germany is allabout the ultra-tech, corporate, military cyber-punk genre. Both in gaming and pop-culture. Check out many of the German industrial and techno bands, and also the punk and rave culture. It's definately different than in Japan, but cyber-punk is there.
