Because consoles are a recent invention?

I'm not arguing with this (or the rest of your comment). Just pointing out that Cyberpunk on paper (and I hope Cyberpunk 2077 will too) doesn't employ most of these tropes. It's Hollywood (and US mainstream media in general) that strives to paint everything black-and-white, so protagonist(s) embody virtuous ideals (though I would argue if it's soicalism) and corporations are just a revamp of Evil Empire trope.

That's why I see comparison of Johnny Mnemonic short story and film such a good example how traditional Cyberpunk differs from Hollywood Cyberpunk. There is no corporate CEOs in the book, no mcguffins in Johnny's memory, no "save the world" plot. Just a guy, trying to survive and make a living.

Similar differences are between "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "Blade Runner". Though those are not entirely belong to cyberpunk genre.

Now you make me want to re-read the books! :)

I honestly can't recall much of either short story (but I actually do recall that I thought Electric Sheep was better than Bladerunner —— and the movie is one of our favourites). I do remember the grittiness and loneliness of the protagonist/s, set up to fail in the bellum omnium contra omnes proscenium so popular with Romantics.

If I follow your comments, it seems you include elements of [Hollywood] Post-cyberpunk in your Cyberpunk? Scilicet, not every corporation is evil; indeed some may even be a allies. I would argue that would probably be a new wrinkle, added since the 80s, but it may have been a part of the original trope (minus Hollywood) and I never noticed. (How many cyberpunk books are there?)

Regardless, however, I prefer this, since it is much more credible and interesting for the audience.

I don't know how much it fits into your category but i've really enjoyed Project Eden.
