1 definition by Cyberpunk2020

A underrated genre of Science Fiction set in lawless sub culture of an opressive and dystopian society dominated by computer technology.

In a nutshell: high tech, low life. Usually taking place within a metropolis city overun by crime, corruption, street gangs, hackers, bandits, poverty, highly advanced computer technology, cybernetic (and mechanical) augmentations and overall, a very dangerous environment to live.
