What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Was it ever released in the US? I don't see any English-speaking countries listed on the IMDB page for its release date.
I guess given that it has an English name of Webmaster I just assumed that was the US release name. Skyggen (the Danish name) just means The Shadow so someone renamed it to Webmaster.
Even if there might not be a US release, I'm pretty sure there was an English-language release. I honestly don't know for certain though.
