From the technical angle, we're well-covered.
From the cyberpunk angle, there was a Facebook page I used to follow doing this sort of coverage; but ended up being too high-level.
I personally don't think I would read it.

#14I find HN (and most of modern life in general) pretty cyberpunk as it is.
Exactly. We are only already often blind to that fact, think about how many years have passed since "Snowden" alone..
2013 has been a pretty seminal point in time imho – ubiquitous mobile computing/internet, Google basically buying a DARPA owned Boston Dynamics, etc, etc.
It has only been accelerating since then (artificial wombs anyone?). We are fully living in "hardcore" cyperpunk times already for sure..

#17Do you mean cypherpunk? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk
They probably meant cyberpunk, since they mentioned the combination of techology and social impact.

#18That sounds really great. I think that the day-to-day "breaking news" style reporting on this subject is common, but longer more visual pieces that get into the nitty-gritty are rare. I'm a designer and journalist very interested in similar areas. I just started releasing a podcast focusing on similar subject matter: http://metaverse.audio If you end up moving forward I'd love to chat. ejfox@ejfox.com
Absolutely !
Btw I love the podcast, totally worth a listen. Production quality is top notch. Definitely on par with Motherboard.

#19I think the market might be saturated. There are 2 cyberpunk news sites that I know of and they mostly report the same events.

#20If you create solid, original content that is interesting, people will respond. Focus on how to market the content if you are confident you can create something people want to read.
