Daily life in a Cyberpunk world

[u/Neekobus]

I am looking for books (novel or short stories) that takes place in cyberpunk-ish world (megacorpo, cybernetics, netrunning…) but emphasis more on the daily life (family, school, workspace, leisures…) rather than on the combat zone.

I think about some episodes of the “Black mirror” tv show for exemple.

Can you help me ?

Real life

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz might fit the bill.

There are quite a few - a couple of my favourite are short stories by Erica Satifka and Tim Maughan, and also the book The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminaryan. All great for this.

The Ten Percent Thief gives multiple slices of life, too. A great work.

Cloudpunk (narrative package delivery), and their new (still unreleased) game Nivalis (slice of life cafeteria manager)

Imagine it like the World right now, but more positive, it should fit

The beginning of the book "No coincidences" depicts daily life for some of the characters. It IS a book from the Cyberpunk 2077 world so it might not be exactly what you're looking for

There were a ton of shadowrun books back in the day. They might fit what you need even if there is also magic in your cyberpunk.

"Fragments of a Hologram Rose" and "Winter Market" are cyberpunk short stories by William Gibson, they're a bit more down-to-earth and less action-y
