Post-Cyberpunk

The SF Site Featured Review: Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology

"we might say that 'post-cyberpunk' bears pretty much the same relationship to 'cyberpunk' that 'postmodernism' bears to 'modernism.' That is, although certain themes and ideas might be traced from one to the other, it would be wrong to see one as the starting point for the other, and indeed just as there are precursors of postmodernism that predate modernism, so there are precursors of post-cyberpunk that predate cyberpunk."
