Following the history of cyberpunk, the origin was a novel written by Philip K. Dick , " Android Does the Dream of Electric Sheep? " This novel is a movie as " Blade Runner " in 1982, with content saying "Rick Deckard earning money earnings chase the Android that has escaped from Mars."

In the blade runner, the town which is likely to actually exist in the near future and the figure like a fire pillar are raised from the signboard of a skyscraper are drawn, and the impression that "cyber punk is a work depicting this world" It became a work to plant strongly on people. But the world that the original author Dick described in the novel is not like a movie but I know that the crew staff of Blade Runner was making it based on the view of the world of another work. The work that was referenced by the production staff at the time was a manga "Long Tomorrow" written in 1975 by Mr. Mebius of a French cartoonist and Dan O'Bonnon of a screenwriter.

Blade runner is known as a masterpiece of cyber punk work, but at that time there was still no genre called "cyber punk". The word itself appeared in the short story titled "Cyber ​​Punk" written by Mr. Bruce Besk in 1980, but at the time there was only awareness as a work name to the last, there was none known in general. A sci-fi novel " New Romanser " written by Mr. William Gibbsun in 1984 two years after the blader runner release was a big hit. With the hit of New Romanser as a trigger, works with a similar world view came out, and the contents of these works were close to Mr. Beku's "cyber punk", so this title was used as the genre name It was decided.

At that time, many cyber punk work was invented, but these had something in common. Mike Ponthmis, who created the Table Talk RPG work " Cyber ​​Punk 2.0.2.0. " That appeared in 1988, said "The main characters appearing in Cyber ​​Punk work are basically weak positions in society. Inside, a combination of newly discovered technology, older technology not used by anyone, reused technology, etc. will fight the gigantic force and a story of content winning freedom will be deployed, "said Cyber ​​Punk's work It explains the common points of.

However, "Cyber ​​punk subspecies has appeared" as a result of hit by cyberpunk work, Mr. Beku says. He said, "In order to hit a work that appeared in recent years, there is a tendency to include fashionable fashion and the latest trend in the work, and it is no longer the original appearance of cyber punk." It explains that it is changing from the old cyberpunk appearance like Mr. Ponthmis said.

In fact, " Matrix " produced under the influence of Japanese cartoons and animation works such as " AKIRA ", " gun dream ", " Ghost in the Shell " is a huge hit. Also in the game, Mr. Kojima Hideo Kojima who made the cyberpunk game " Snatcher " developed a " Metal Gear Solid " which incorporated elements such as artificial brain science (cybernetics) and AI and was a great success.

All of these works are considered cyberpunk work, but some critics have said that it is "just incorporating elements" and whether or not it applies to the "definition of cyber punk in the 1980s" There is room for discussion.
