The Long Tomorrow | By: Dan O’Bannon & Moebius | Setting Date: Far Future 《漫长的明天》(The Long Tomorrow) | 作者：Dan O’Bannon & Moebius | 设定时间：遥远的未来 Published: 1975 | Type: Graphic Novel | Issues: 1 出版年份：1975 | 类型：图像小说 | 期数：1 Themes: Multiculturalism, Overcrowding, Technocracy 主题：多元文化主义、人口过剩、技术官僚 Summary: A gritty short story with illustrations that were part of the French science fiction aesthetic of the 70’s that heavily inspired cyberpunk media such as Blade Runner and Neuromancer. The Long Tomorrow is a film noir hard boiled detective narrative complete with a femme fatale and predictions of a heavily urbanised future society. This is very short and any cyberpunk fan should check it out to see the early roots of the genre. 简介： 这是一个充满粗粝感的短篇故事，其插画属于70年代法国科幻美学的一部分，深刻影响了《银翼杀手》和《神经漫游者》等赛博朋克作品。《漫长的明天》是一部黑色电影风格的硬汉侦探叙事，包含了蛇蝎美人和对高度城市化未来社会的预言。篇幅非常短，任何赛博朋克粉丝都应该读一读，以探寻该类型的早期根源。
Akira | By: Katsuhiro Otomo | Setting Date: 2019 《阿基拉》(Akira) | 作者：大友克洋 | 设定时间：2019 Published: 1982-1990 | Type: Manga | Volumes: 6 | Chapters: 120 出版年份：1982-1990 | 类型：日漫 | 卷数：6 | 话数：120 Themes: Dystopia, Radical Politics, Overcrowding, Anarchy 主题：反乌托邦、激进政治、人口过剩、无政府状态 Summary: Many elements of Akira are fantastical in nature rather than hard sci-fi but it remains relevant as a cyberpunk narrative due to strong punk themes, a narrative that is resistant to authority and a degraded urban setting. Fans of the film owe it to themselves to read the entire release, as the anime is considerably condensed. 简介： 《阿基拉》中的许多元素本质上是奇幻而非硬科幻，但它作为赛博朋克叙事依然具有重要意义，因为它拥有强烈的朋克主题、反抗权威的叙事以及颓废的城市背景。电影的粉丝们一定要阅读全套漫画，因为动画版的内容被大幅压缩了。
Blade Runner | By: Archie Goldwin, Al Williamson & Carlos Garzon | Setting Date: 2019 《银翼杀手》(Blade Runner) | 作者：Archie Goldwin, Al Williamson & Carlos Garzon | 设定时间：2019 Published: 1982 | Type: Comic | Issues: 2 出版年份：1982 | 类型：漫画 | 期数：2 Themes: Dystopia, Depopulation, Androids, Climate Change 主题：反乌托邦、人口减少、仿生人、气候变化 Summary: This 2 issue special feature published by Marvel Comics was marketed to be released along side the film and was an official comic book adaptation. Due to the comic medium, this title spells out many of the film’s ambiguous scenes with narration. The comic is also rife with trivia, such as Deckard’s squad nickname “Mister Nighttime” and Gaff’s preoccupation with dress standards and presentation. Despite the relatively poor print quality, this is a must-read for fans of the original Blade Runner (1982) movie. 简介： 这部由漫威漫画出版的2期特刊是作为电影的官方漫画改编版同步发行的。由于漫画媒介的特性，该作通过旁白阐明了电影中许多模糊的场景。漫画中还充满了琐事，例如戴克（Deckard）在小队的绰号“午夜先生”（Mister Nighttime），以及加夫（Gaff）对着装标准和外表的执着。尽管印刷质量相对较差，但对于原版《银翼杀手》（1982）电影的粉丝来说，这是必读之作。
Shatter | By: Peter B. Gills & Mike Saenz | Setting Date: 2019 《粉碎》(Shatter) | 作者：Peter B. Gills & Mike Saenz | 设定时间：2019 Published: 1985-1988 | Type: Comic | Issues: 14 (+ 1 special) 出版年份：1985-1988 | 类型：漫画 | 期数：14（+1期特刊） Themes: Dystopia, Robotics, Gene Science, Multiculturalism, Automation 主题：反乌托邦、机器人学、基因科学、多元文化主义、自动化 Summary: Composed entirely on a Macintosh Plus using a mouse for drawing and printed on laser printers, this was the world’s first digital comic. This is the closest readers will get to a classic cyberpunk comic. It is slightly campy and has an endearing pixel art illustration style but is crammed full of every cyberpunk trope you could imagine. The title follows a police detective who works through a computer-aided reverse auction bounty system for jobs in a heavily over-crowded future metropolis. Blade Runner and other Philip K. Dick narratives were heavy thematic and aesthetic inspirations for this title. Many of the technologies and their societal responses are surprisingly predictive of what has transpired today in the 21st century. Well worth reading for any fans of Blade Runner or classic cyberpunk. 简介： 这是世界上第一部数字漫画，完全在Macintosh Plus上使用鼠标绘制，并由激光打印机打印而成。这是读者能接触到的最接近经典赛博朋克的漫画。它带有一点夸张的风格和讨喜的像素艺术插画，但塞满了你能想象到的所有赛博朋克桥段。故事讲述了一名警察侦探在一个高度拥挤的未来大都市中，通过计算机辅助的逆向拍卖赏金系统来寻找工作。该作在主题和美学上深受《银翼杀手》及其他菲利普·K·迪克作品的影响。其中许多技术及其社会反应，惊人地预言了21世纪的今天所发生的一切。对于《银翼杀手》或经典赛博朋克的粉丝来说，非常值得一读。
Dominion | By: Masamune Shirow | Setting Date: 2016 《特搜战车队》(Dominion) | 作者：士郎正宗 | 设定时间：2016 Published: 1986 | Type: Manga | Volumes: 1 出版年份：1986 | 类型：日漫 | 卷数：1 Themes: Dystopia, Pollution, Climate Change, Cybernetics, Gene Science 主题：反乌托邦、污染、气候变化、控制论、基因科学 Summary: Before Ghost in the Shell, Masamune Shirow created Tank Police, which also enjoyed translation to a short animated series. In a heavily polluted future metropolis called New Port City, respiration masks are necessary to venture outside. A heavily armed tank police are used to control the population as criminals have become more and more dangerous with new forms of military technology. A criminal cyborg and his two android assistants attempts to thwart a plot by the government to alter the human genome to produce its own oxygen rather than mitigate the pollution which is making the world unlivable. The tank police work to stop him in this comical but well illustrated short series. Several of the tank designs in this manga went on to be featured in the Ghost in the Shell franchise, as well as being set in the same fictional city including many other overlapping themes and references. 简介： 在《攻壳机动队》之前，士郎正宗创作了《特搜战车队》，该作也被改编成了短篇动画系列。在一个名为“新港市”的严重污染的未来大都市中，人们外出必须佩戴呼吸面罩。由于罪犯利用新型军事技术变得越来越危险，全副武装的坦克警察被用来控制人口。一名犯罪改造人及其两名仿生人助手试图挫败政府的一项阴谋——政府计划改变人类基因组以使其能自行产生氧气，而不是去治理导致世界变得无法居住的污染。在这部滑稽但插画精美的短篇系列中，坦克警察们致力于阻止他。这部漫画中的几款坦克设计后来出现在了《攻壳机动队》系列中，且故事设定在同一个虚构城市，并包含许多重叠的主题和参考。
Rebel | By: Pepe Moreno | Setting Date: 2002 《反叛者》(Rebel) | 作者：Pepe Moreno | 设定时间：2002 Published: 1986 | Type: Graphic Novel | Issues: 1 出版年份：1986 | 类型：图像小说 | 期数：1 Themes: Post-Apocalyptic, Fascism, Survival, Dystopia, Urban Decay 主题：后启示录、法西斯主义、生存、反乌托邦、城市衰败 Summary: A fast-paced, action-driven graphic novel that reads like a mix of Mad Max and Escape from New York. While post-apocalyptic settings are often outside the cyberpunk genre, the current political climate in the USA combined with the influence that Carpenter’s film had on the genre, with designers like Hideo Kojima lifting considerable aesthetic and thematic aspects of Escape from New York for his own work, then Rebel, despite being derivative, also deserves a place on this list. Set in a dystopian 2002 New York City, society has disintegrated, and the remnants of humanity fight over abandoned supermarkets living in anarchy amongst warlords. The United States’ sole governing force is a fascist military regime that maintains a utopic, walled-off city with high technology, creating order outside the gangland warzone. Using real photographs of New York landmarks, Moreno uses a vivid, Moebius-esque visual style and a heavy punk aesthetic that he infuses in his protagonists. The main character, Pepe, is ex-military and uses a range of guerilla warfare and espionage techniques, that fans of Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid series may enjoy. 简介： 这是一部节奏快、动作感强的图像小说，读起来像是《疯狂的麦克斯》和《逃出纽约》的混合体。虽然末日后的背景通常不属于赛博朋克类型，但考虑到美国当前的政治气候，加上卡朋特的电影对该类型的影响（如小岛秀夫等设计师在自己的作品中大量借鉴了《逃出纽约》的美学和主题），《反叛者》尽管具有衍生性质，也值得出现在这份清单上。故事设定在反乌托邦的2002年纽约市，社会已经瓦解，人类残余在军阀割据的无政府状态下争夺废弃的超市。美国唯一的统治力量是一个法西斯军事政权，它维持着一座拥有高科技的乌托邦式围墙城市，在帮派战区之外建立秩序。莫雷诺（Moreno）利用纽约地标的真实照片，采用了生动的、类似墨比斯（Moebius）的视觉风格，并将浓厚的朋克美学注入到主角身上。主角佩佩（Pepe）是退伍军人，使用一系列游击战和间谍技术，小岛秀夫《合金装备》系列的粉丝可能会喜欢。
Ghost in the Shell (Mobile Armored Riot Police) | By: Masamune Shirow | Setting Date: 2029-2030 《攻壳机动队》(Ghost in the Shell) | 作者：士郎正宗 | 设定时间：2029-2030 Published: 1989-1990 | Type: Manga | Volumes: 1 出版年份：1989-1990 | 类型：日漫 | 卷数：1 Themes: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cybernetics 主题：人工智能、机器人学、控制论 Summary: One of the most well-known cyberpunk franchises in any medium. Like Shirow’s Dominion (1986) it is also set in New Port City, but with a slightly less campy premise and art direction. The story follows a female cyborg and her team in an elite governmental agency known as Section 9 as it grapples with a powerful Artificial Intelligence. For better or worse… 简介： 这是任何媒介中最著名的赛博朋克系列之一。和士郎正宗的《特搜战车队》（1986）一样，它也设定在新港市，但前提和艺术指导稍微没那么夸张。故事讲述了一名女性改造人和她所在的政府精英机构“公安九课”如何与强大的人工智能进行博弈。无论好坏……
