As someone who has spent their fair share of days in Vancouver, it blows my mind during some wet early mornings, that this city was where cyberpunk's cradle could be considered, where Gibson wrote Neuromancer. The rain, the grit, the grey, all shared across time and space and pages, and in between each of them, glimpses of the future. It's something about the genre that delights my sense of wonder, of who we as a species have come from and where we're going.
