This topic may have been discussed before, But having recently rewatch the original BR and original Ghost in the Shell…
Masamune Shirow created the original manga for Ghost in the Shell in 1989. I often wonder how much influence Blade Runner (or the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) may have had?
I can see so many similarities from androids to cyber enhanced people and the dystopian futures of LA and then Tokyo.
Thoughts from others?
Every time someone like Greg Bear, Iain Banks, Neal Stephenson, Philip K Dick, Alastair Reynolds, William Gibson or the like had an idea it became part of the greater fabric I feel. A lot of the tech that appears as a feature of a scene in one story may become canon background tech because the idea has already been explained by another author. Cyberpunk as a subgenre has bled over into other cultures and grown into its own network of terminology. Its boundaries only seem to be set by the authors and creators to my eye.
