Mike Perschon has written a four-part series of blog posts exploring the spirituality of the cyberpunk genre (link goes to part 1; parts 2, 3, and 4 follow).

It's exciting to see somebody digging through the world of cyberpunk like this--it's a genre often marked by a deep ambivalence about God and religion, yet spiritual symbolism crops up regularly in cyberpunk literature and movies. I remember a spike in Christian interest in the trappings of cyberpunk back when the Matrix movies hit, but I didn't see anybody at the time moving beyond the Matrix films to explore the genre's true complexities. As Mike puts it in his introductory post:

....buried within the semiotic jumble of hardwire and circuit board landscapes (both inner and exterior) and the yearnings of the rock rebel protagonists in the works of Gibson, Maddox, and Stephenson a sublimated spirituality hides. The path to this spirituality is convoluted; to uncover it, we must first understand how cyberpunk has restructured mythic/religious narrative.... While cyberpunk seems to state with unanimity that “God, as such, had died” (Bear, 106), it will be shown, that to the contrary, God has merely moved into cyberspace.

Sounds like a good excuse to break out those mirror shades and dust off your copy of Blade Runner, at least.
