Could have been writing, but instead I put together this starter pack for those interested in cyberpunk writers, artists, and video game designers.

A cool Github project that takes you down a #cyberpunk rabbit hole with a list of most (aiming for all) cyberpunk clips, video games, books, music, TV shows, movies, artists, and other things like TTRPGs.

There is a Reddit thread going if you have additions. www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/...

A deep dive the Cyberpunk genre. Follow the white rabbit.

I just finished reading this ARC and it's a great entry into the #cyberpunk space. Excellent pacing and action, compelling characters, and an interesting world. There is a very Dune-like feeling to the corporate/political intrigue side of the story.

To Poke A Third Eye by Blaze Ward. Book six of the Corsac Fox and sets up a fantastic season ending double episode with Book Seven next month. then a short break, but I already know what eight and maybe nine will be. Gonna be a ball and I would love to hear your guesses on nine when you finish seven.

Picture of a gold and blue starship flying across a salmon and turquoise nebula.

Way fun utterly epic space opera. the big chewy kind that they don't seem to write anymore. At least I think so, and I'm willing to admit to being slightly biased here. YMMV.

heh.

Also, more Science Officer coming up this fall and then the next RAN series early next year, plus an epic series of xenoarchaeology, becaue I got the best job in the world.

See ya soon.

A new #cyberpunk/#scifi novel by debut author Bryant Callahan. Love the cover design with the traditional oil painting, DaVinci Creation of Adam feel to it.

I was planning on very few physical ARCs for my #cyberpunk novel, but the ones I do send out I was going to include a bookmark or sticker, so I had my cover artist draw this disgusting rollerdog.

There's a very different use of light in this 3d model created by Shubham Parte. Instead of the dark gloom of most #cyberpunk scenes, they have used that Golden Hour light to wash out the neon and bathe the scene. More cool stuff on their ArtStation page www.artstation.com/shubhamparte

This is a great first chapter for Mira Wendam's new #cyberpunk novel, Dead Line. Free on their site now. It reminded me of 36 Streets from T.R. Napper.

Concept art from Huang Fan that would look at home in Blade Runner. A very different style from most #cyberpunk pieces, with almost a collage feel to it in her hair and the tattoo on her arm. A bunch more scifi pieces in their ArtStation portfolio www.artstation.com/fanhuang

A cyberpunk woman, naked other than orange stripes across her nipples, holds two pistols arms outstretch as she stands in the rain.

This piece by @seventeenth.bsky.social is amazing, especially in how it conveys the oppressively garish aspects of the #cyberpunk environment, but with a relatively soft palette and implied detail instead of an overwhelming set of visuals. From their Cara page here cara.app/post/ec87775...
