Is “Hopepunk” a Thing? Who Cares?

Genre classifications are mostly irrelevant to me. Whether or not someone would classify a book as “hopepunk” is entirely irrelevant to my decision to read it.

And this notion that there is no “hopepunk” canon of recognizable literature seems like …

On the latest Geeks Guide to the Galaxy podcast, I had a fantastic time revisiting Neuromancer, the classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, with Theresa DeLucci, Sam J. Miller, and host David Barr Kirtley. Here’s a quote from …
