The other two aren’t as good. Decent. Count Zero and Burning Chrome have their good parts, but Neuro was easily the best of the bunch.

The Johnny Mnemonic movie was OK for what it was, but it was NOT Neuromancer by a long shot.

Considering the rate of advance predicted in the old Mondo 2000 days, I am really surprised Cyberpunk only goes through occasional/Small resurgences in popularity. Japan, it’s common and a strong source of their fiction/Anime. But here, notsomuch.

I’ve read Count Zero, not Burning Chrome. I thought Count Zero was pretty close to ‘mancer, still I would give it to ‘mancer.

As far as manga from Japan, Akira is one of the best comics ever. That, Appleseed, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, although it isn’t cyberpunkish at all, just awesome. All three blow the anime versions out of the water no contest, although Akira and Nausicaa are great anime as well.

As far as anime series with cyberpunk have you seen the Ghost in the Shell episodes?
