During the decades since H.P. Lovecraft
first wrote of the Cthulhu Mythos, many authors have crossed his themes into
other genres, enhancing his original vision with stories taking place in the
distant past, in the far-flung future, and in myriad places in-between.
Cyberpunk tales are written in dark,
gritty, film-noir styles. Their protagonists live and die at the bottom echelon
of an electronic society gone awry. They may be seedier, poorer, and less
inclined to make moral judgments than stoic Lovecraftian New Englanders, but in
Cyberpunk-Cthulhu tales they encounter the same horrors as their more-genteel
predecessors.
Confronting monstrous entities and
fiends from beyond space and time, the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu hero may wield
high-tech weapons and have other advances at his or her disposal. To beings
where time has no meaning and whose technologically is so advanced that their
actions seem supernatural or powered by magic, no human finds an advantage.
This is the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu world;
mythos horrors lurk at the edge of society, mythos-altered technology infects
human beings, dark gods lurk in cyberspace, and huge corporations rule society
while bowing to entities inimical to humankind.
