I've always had a soft spot in my heart for cyberpunk, though I've never read any "professional" (read: book-published) stories. I see it as essentially the same as sword & sorcery fantasy, just in a radically different world and time period. I think what really sets cyberpunk apart from sword & sorcery, however, is that lack of black and white morality that you see all too often in fantasy stories. Everything tends to be grey in cyberpunk (including the cityscape).
With that, I want to introduce you all to one of the best cyberpunk stories I've ever read. It's amateur in that it's not published in book form, but it really is quite an amazing story...revenge, redemption, and loss, with everything you've come to love in a cyberpunk story. I'm not sure when I read it first, I think it may have been November of 2004, but for whatever reason I have never thought to show it to more of the world. Until now.
