Oh, I’d agree that there’s a spectrum of noir present in all cyberpunk, but the Android world is, I think, not usually very punk, though the Anarch and Weyland flavor often taps in to that level of grit. Where The Sprawl (and other Cyberpunk mainstays like Phillip K. Dick, Sterling, etc.) leans more nihilistic / pessimistic, ANR’s future leans brighter and less existential. I didn’t mean to imply that noir and punk are either-or ; I just think that ANR leans more heavily on the noir and less on the punk.
It’s actually interesting to me to compare Android the board game to Android: Netrunner–I almost think that something like ANR might fit well as an in-universe NBN product inside the very Noir/Blade Runner-y boardgame!
