description: UNQUIET TALES OF A MYTHOS-HAUNTED FUTUREDuring the decades since H.P. Lovecraft first wrote of the Cthulhu Mythos many authors have crossed his themes into other genres enhancing his original vision with stories taking place in the distant past in the far-flung future and in myriad places in-between.Cyberpunk tales are written in dark gritty film-noir styles. Their protagonists live and die at the bottom echelon of an electronic society gone awry. They may be seedier poorer and less inclined to make moral judgements than stoic Lovecraftian New Englanders but in Cyberpunk-Cthulhu tales they encounter the same horrors as their more-genteel predecessors.Confronting monstrous entities and fiends from beyond space and time the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu hero may wield high-tech weapons and have other advances at his or her disposal. To beings where time has no meaning and whose technologically is so advanced that their actions seem supernatural or powered by magic no human finds an advantage.This is the Cyberpunk-Cthulhu world  mythos horrors lurk at the edge of society mythos-altered technology infects human beings dark gods lurk in cyberspace and huge corporations rule society while bowing to entities inimical to humankind.
