When it started becoming contemporary fiction.

9/11

When the technology it based itself on became outdated I guess.

When it became reality, but instead of being grungy, neon, and japanese it was clean, ergonomically designed, and American.

When it ended up a completely visual style.

I think most people don't realize how hard that shit affected fiction.

It really was the end of innocence on a level unseen in the country since, well, I'd say Pearl Harbor.

The only tech that really mattered in the Bridge trilogy was a fully sapient AI and nanoassemblers capable of creating a fully functional living human, with memories and all.

Not quite outdated yet.

The Punks grew up. The Man is mostly dead from old age now and The Punks' kids grew up in digital cradles. Now The Punk is slowly coming to terms with the fact that he is becoming The Man and his children are rebelling against him in ways he did not think possible.

It will happen again soon.
