Somebody must have made a mistake. Thirty year old science fiction is *old*. It's set in the swamps of Venus and on the shores of the Martial canals. It's populated by beautiful alien princesses in brass bikinis, and square jawed heroes who can overcome almost any problem set before them with a slide rule and a pot of strong coffee. And if that didn't work, there was always their trusty ray gun.
Cyberpunk can't be that old, can it?
