Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science-fiction. Some fandoms fall under that header due to their canon, such as Blade Runner or The Matrix, and thus have many fanworks staying within that genre. In other fandoms cyberpunk can be realized as alternate universe or especially in SF fandoms as a stylistic choice with just slight twisting, without it becoming AU entirely.

  • The Zaibatsu Project by Nekotsuki. (WIP) In the year 2029, modern day street samurai and brilliant programmer Himura Kenshin returns to the ugly world of street politics and corporate war in an effort to help an unconventional hacker find her brother. Influenced by Cyberpunk 2020. Definitely AU. (2006, last updated 2019)
