Re:Is Cyberpunk Dead? A Conversation with Bruce Bethke by badsectoracula on Friday August 28, 2020 @07:06PM (#24311412)
Yes there are some other tropes that are into play, but those aren't always important - e.g. there are Cyberpunk works where you do not play the antihero or villain. E.g. in movies Alex Murphy in Robocop isn't exactly an antihero and certainly not a villain. Similar in games with JC Denton in Deus Ex (though of course in such games this particular aspect isn't clear since it is up to the player - but you are essentially playing as a glorified cop).

That some popular works in the genre share some of these tropes doesn't mean that the genre is all about those tropes.
