In this video, I break down Cyberpunk’s Big Three Authors—the writers who defined cyberpunk as a literary movement, not just an aesthetic. We’re talking books, ideas, and influence, not movies or video games.

Over roughly 22 minutes, I walk through why William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Neal Stephenson stand at the center of cyberpunk’s history, focusing on their most influential novels and the long shadow they’ve cast over modern science fiction.
I also point toward the next generation of cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk writers—authors who expanded, challenged, or evolved the genre beyond its original 1980s moment. These include Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker, Cory Doctorow, and others who carried cyberpunk’s ideas into new cultural and technological terrain.
If you’re interested in cyberpunk as literature—where it started, what it meant, and how it changed—this video is a solid place to begin.
