Não que isso seja uma máxima, mas muitas obras audiovisuais, incluindo animações para TV, quadrinhos, jogos, etc, tem recorrido a elementos desse subgênero da ficção científica para compor sua estética e narrativa. O cyberpunk, desde seu surgimento, tem influenciado o cinema e sido transformado por este, a ponto de hoje, após The Matrix, Akira e Ghost in the Shell, o subgênero ter tomado novas direções. Esses novos caminhos, de certa maneira, convergem para as nossas vivências cotidianas e muitos dos dilemas com a tecnologia expostos nessas obras são realidade em nossas vidas. O cyberpunk nasce na literatura com o livro Neuromancer, de William Gibson. Nele, o autor reúne vários elementos da cultura da época: a tecnologia emergente, os movimentos punks, o medo (mesmo que velado) de uma guerra nuclear, o desenvolvimento de grandes corporações, a popularização dos computadores pessoais, um visual urbano e uma sensação de melancolia constante (símbolo tão marcante de nossas vidas contemporâneas).
