Dick, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J.G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer, and Harlan Ellison explored the impact of drug culture . , technology and the sexual revolution, while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction. Comics exploring cyberpunk themes began appearing as early as Judge Dredd, first published in 1977.[3] William Gibson's influential debut Neuromancer, released in 1984, helped establish cyberpunk as a genre, drawing influence from the punk subculture and early hacker culture. Other influential cyberpunk writers included Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker. The Japanese cyberpunk subgenre began in 1982 with the debut of the Akira manga series by Katsuhiro Otomo, whose 1988 anime film adaptation (also directed by Otomo) later popularized the subgenre. Early films in the genre include Ridley Scott's 1982 Blade Runner, one of several works by Philip K. Dick to be adapted into films (in this case, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?). The "first cyberpunk television series"[4] was the 1987 TV series Max Headroom, set in a futuristic dystopia ruled by a television network oligarchy and where computer hacking played a central role in many of the storylines. Johnny Mnemonic (1995)[5] and New Rose Hotel (1998),[6][7] both based on short stories by William Gibson, failed commercially and critically, while the Matrix trilogy (1999–2003) and Judge Dredd (1995) were some of the most successful cyberpunk films.
