Here's a webcomic on a site called e-sheep. It's called "The Guy I Almost Was".
It's quite excellent.

Transhuman Space - Best described in the Gurps Transhuman Space series this is a more updated offshoot of cyberpunk. The world in a TS setting isn't a dystopia generally, but rather a mix of dystopia and utopia. Transhuman space focuses often on what it is to be "human" and so Ai, bioroids, chimera, and other biological and cybernetic modifications are common. In many ways the metahumans of SR mirror the metahuman races of TS. Transhuman Space settings are also normally set around 100 years into the future. Present Day Cyberpunk - Cyberpunk with the techlevel as it is today or near today. PARANOIA - This little RPG deserves its own genre. The world is decidedly dystopian, but <user deleted> |

None of these are Cyberpunk, though. At most they may be descendants, but they've speciated. ~J |

Where's the punk, though? |

Where's the punk, though? I just don't see the sort of anti-authority rebelliousness these days. ~J |

Steampunk is another "WTF?" for me. Maybe I'm just seeing the wrong steampunk—is there any reason it isn't just "steam"? Can someone point me to the punk? I mean, ye gods, it's usually set in the Victorian era! Anyway, I can't speak for Bladerunner, but if it's at all true to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, then I must denounce you as a blasphemer. ~J |

Bladerunner is often taken as a classic piece of Cyberpunk, yet doesn't seem to have many of the trapping of 'true' Cyber. |

...omigod it's a Phil Foglio work. I love that man's stuff. Have all the XXXenophile issues signed by him. I'd love to see his take on some of my characters. |
