# That's nothing
I died while writing it. The last chapter was really tricky to do because my fingers had all rotted and fallen off.

I got better.

# It's a post-cyberpunk novel,
so it's got butch-but-troubled men, kick-arse women, computers, secrets and memories, and a fair bit of violence, all set in a world where it's very dirty and rains at narratively convenient moments.

and occasionally it's sunny (which might be more important!).

Cyberpunk was really a literary movement which had its time then styles changed. My book has lots of elements of Cyberpunk in it but I'm about a decade and a half late to be true Cyberpunk. Maybe it's 'cyberpunk' with a small 'c', or something.

You know, for someone who did a doctorate about William Gibson, I really should be able to answer that question more easily.
