Cyberpunk and cypherpunk

I notice there's also an article on cyberpunk. While I've read Gibson et al., are these different areas of thought or should there be, at least, linkage?Howard C. Berkowitz 10:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

There's certainly some linkage, though they are different concepts. e.g. Neal Stephenson is often considered a cyberpunk writer. Have you read his Cryptonomicon? I highly recommend it if not. See ULTRA#Fictional_treatments. Quite a few characters in that book are on the "Secret Admirers" mailing list; that's obviously the old cypherpunk list. At some point, I may get to doing articles on Stephenson, Cryptonomicom and cypherpunks. WP has a decent article [[1]]. Sandy Harris 16:46, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
