I wonder how much of “the cyberpunk movement” in SF was authors getting sick and tired of “woo” psi powers etc. For me personally it really felt like a breath of fresh air.
Bruce Sterling is active on social media but he’s pretty forward-looking. I tried complimenting his Heavy Weather from the early 90s and get a self-deprecating dismissal.
Early Gibson short stories are tinged with late 70s SF, not surprisingly.
Incidentally superhero movies are current western SF/fantasy hybrids.

Wonder if the big cyberpunk authors wrote about that, somebody prob knows.
