As for Neo Noir, I find it interesting how it has found its way into Science Fiction & film I first came accross an overt Noir influence in Cyberpunk Fiction, starting with William Gibson in the 1980's Then at the same time in movies like Blade Runner & even more so in the Philip K. Dick book which the movie was based on,"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" which is more of a Hard-boiled detective story with quite a bit of humor set in the future. The 1980's was a golden age for the graphic novel which embraced Noir & Hard-Boiled fiction, Frank Miller started writing Sin City in the late 80's a Very good example of this influence is "The Matrix" I will leave listing others to another post.
