Anyone know something about that Î ??
I like a lot this kind of stuff: Ghost in the Shell, Akira, V is for Vendetta, Jin-roh, 1984, Brave new world.
Don't mind the media (novel, comic, animation, movie, videogame, anything).



ok... i just wanted to post that picture..

Um, the obvious answer is the man who practically created the genre William Gibson.
Read the Sprawl Trilogy which is made of up of the following books.

Neuromancer
Countzero
Mona Lisa Overdrive

Also Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash is great, but its more comedic in nature and an absolute blast to read.

Ahh... just watched V for Vendetta for the first time recently, good film.

Umm well it depends how obvious you want it, I haven't actually read them but know a few fanatics but Watchmen is meant to be based on this sort of stuff and the writer has done several things (I think he did V for aswell)
Fight club is the classic and an awesome film (I beleive the writer of the novel said the film was better than the book)
Clockwork orange, theirs a film and a book only seen the film but am getting the book soon.

Can't think of anything else at the moment, but i'm sure theirs lots.

I have been beaten to it.

Sprawl trilogy, Snow Crash. That is your required reading, good sir.

Also try When Gravity Fails, Stand On Zanzibar, and City Come A-Walkin'. And if you're into manga check out BLAME! or anything by Nihei.

Also, check out Brazil. Amazing movie. Very "brave new world"-ish, but devilishly funny in some scenes

Ah the one by a few of the monty python guys, yea that was a good film.

I've got neuromancer, but i didn't know it was part of a trilogy O__O I'll try to get those.
Is anyone here interested in this kind of scifi?
It's kind of bitter to read these things because it seems we are going to end up like that in no time...

Isn't that what they try and point out?
Yea I like all these sorta scifi things don't get much time for them though sadly.

Kara no Kyoukai - the Garden of sinners, I haven't read the books yet but the anime is kickass. ........edit this kind'a falls more to the supper natural side of things then SIFI but it is really great!

Manga: noise, Personant, Apple, Battle angel alita & Battle angel alita last order.

I'll have to go through my mind a bit for more...

+1, Gilliam is great!

May aswell add 12 monkeys as it's a future thing and awesome gilliam film.

Check out a book called “Lacy and His Friends” David Drake

Written in '86 an early venture into or at least approaching cyber punk.

MM

Uh, maybe Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze? Both anime series. Even something like Karas, which is just really cyberpunk and futuristic.

Those are good ones as well although I really wanted to like Karas much more then I did.
