  • Good points from other users.

    You’re kinda asking the wrong question.

    Where to start writing? Wherever you are when you write.

    Where to publish? Seems to be what you’re looking for—

    You’re likely an unknown author. So you are going to have to figure it out yourself In terms of marketing

    Do you just want your stuff out there? You can put it almost anywhere

    Do you want people to find you? Then you’ll need to market yourself (and yes I just threw up a little writing that)

    It will be up to you to get people to find and read your stuff , sorry but yeah you mostly have to market yourself

    So yeah put your page in there when you post your content here, and blue sky, and everywhere. Make a podcast of you reading your stuff, make it easy to share so new people can discover you.

    Self published books and print on demand— worked for Andy Weir (the Martian) and Hugh Howey (Silo) and 50 shades of gray

    Good luck




  • Yes with a however…

    Gibson-esque cyberpunk no. But Wargames 80s proto cyberpunk yes. Sneakers has that early 90s version.

    They were not looking to explore the depths of cyberpunk; but showing the unwashed masses that the computers and the geeks who use them are out there. They both do a great job in showing that those computer things like any tool could have a negative use Trying to explain that to Bob from Iowa you’ve got to go slow and use small words. Not because Bob is stupid rather because Bob has no idea about any of it.

    Today you’d assume that people know about the internet and that computers talk to each other.

    I’d go with a proto cyberpunk/ mass market intro cyber label
