Hope so! Shadowrun, which is basically Gibson’s sprawl plus magic, set in the 2050s in original editions from around 1990 -
Later editions added wireless computer connections to keep up with present technology, but wifi just doesn’t feel cyberpunk, so they later added some weird lore reason to go back to needing to plug in, for recent editions. Good change.
Come to think of it, Shadowrun lore is a Cyberpunk 2077 crossover with The Witcher (the awakening ≈ the conjunction), and witchers could work fine on SR physical-adept rules… 🤔
Watch Season 1 of Altered Carbon and then Bright (the Will Smith movie) get the people involved in both and lock them in a room with the Secrets of Power trilogy and dont let them out until they have scripts.
Read [or reread] “Damnation Alley” by Roger Zelazny. You could argue that it’s the original ‘punk’ science fiction novel. A hard bitten Hell’s Angel is chosen to drive across the post-atomic wasteland to deliver a life giving serum to the last city on the East Coast.
When I think about it, I decide that the Atomic War took place circa 1970 and keep all the background details in that era.

I LOVE Shadowrun, but it would be so criminally expensive to do (and do well) as live action that I would be genuinely worried if someone tried.

Henson could do it.
But it would mean that Disney would have to buy it first.
