Cyberpunk has been seeing a resurgence in recent years. The sequel to one of the fathers of Cyberpunk, 1982’s Blade Runner, was released on this day in 2017. Cyberpunk 2077 released in 2020 with the wildly successful anime Cyberpunk Edgerunners releasing this month.

Looking back at Blade Runner 40 years later and 2049 five years later, we can analyse how Cyberpunk has changed over its near 50 year history and how 2049 serves as a nice blueprint of how to create a Cyberpunk world that is not based in problematic tropes about Asian peoples and cultures.
