This is very specific, but I just finished playing Cyberpunk 2077 and there are some narrative elements there, especially in the DLC, that are almost Lovecraftian in a way I’d never seen before.
Specifically, I’m thinking of the stuff in the game involving the Blackwall, which is basically a barrier in cyberspace protecting the net from a host of unknown cyber-horrors on the other side.
I’ve always thought of cosmic horror in terms of… well, space, or some dimension beyond reality that we can’t comprehend. I had never seen it explored within the context of cyberspace.
Are there any books within the cyberpunk subgenre that deal with similar cosmic horror themes?

I would also love this.
Might be worth reading William Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy though. The way the Voodoo boys deify the AIs beyond the Blackwall as the Loa is ripped right out of that series.
