Cyberdecks are having a moment, rejecting big tech surveillance with style and substance 02.06.2026

TechCrunch

Cyberdecks, DIY computers inspired by William Gibson's "Neuromancer," are experiencing a surge in popularity, largely driven by women on social media who are transforming them into artistic, hyper-feminine creations. These personalized devices, often built inside unconventional items like mermaid purses or duck figurines, reject the sleek, homogenous aesthetic of big tech and assert a desire for control and ownership over personal technology. Creators like CC and Maro Vardanyan are documenting their building processes, making them accessible to others, and highlighting a historical connection between women's craftwork and early computing. This trend represents a deliberate choice for less practical, more hands-on tech experiences as a form of resistance against the perceived surveillance and lack of customization offered by mainstream devices.
