What is a utopian view of cyberpunk fiction? I don't know any.

The "punk" in the genre is the rebellion against or rejection of a corrupt and oppressive system that chews people up and spits them out as either defeated or criminals. If you're reading something else, it's not cyberpunk by definition.

Remember, it's hi-tech and low lives.

Solarpunk, I would guess. "The street finds uses for things" doesn't end up being hardscrabble against dystopia.
