The Roleplaying Game of the Dark Future
The Corporations control the world from their skyscraper fortresses, enforcing their rule with armies of cyborg assas¬sins. On the Street, Boostergangs roam a shattered urban wilderness, killing and looting. The rest of the world is a perpetual party, as fashion-model beautiful techies rub biosculpt jobs with battle armored roadwarriors in the hottest clubs, sleaziest bars and meanest streets this side of the Postholocaust. The Future never looked so bad.
But you can change it. You’ve got interface plugs in your wrists, weapons in your arms, lasers in your eyes, bio-chip programs screaming in your brain. You’re wired in, cyberenhanced and solid state as you take it to the fatal Edge where only the toughest and the coolest can go. Because you’re CYBERPUNK.

[q]I was seriously into cyberpunk lit back in the day, so much so that when I met Bruce Sterling he asked me, dryly, "So, are you a cyberpunk?" Prolly the black leather jacket all tooled up with a red paint pen, jackboots and mirrorshades that did it. [i]Cyberdork[/i] was more like it.[/q] Had some good times with this back in the early '90s. Kilt-wearin' rockstar cyborgs with monofilament egg beaters... you know the rest.

I find the gritty down and dirty play style great for the occasional campaign. It's a nice change from the epic 'save the world' type of play style often found in other RPGs.

A classic, but it was only in Cyberpunk RED that R. Talsorian managed to solve the recurring problem of netrunners. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordpress.com/2017/10/15/ghost-in-the-interlocked-shell/
