Missing Stephenson's The Diamond Age was a bit of an oversight as well, considering that Snow Crash is one of the canonical Cyberpunk novels, while The Diamond Age is (IMO) a defining Post-Cyberpunk novel. The Diamond Age opens with a Cyberpunk fake protagonist written with every Cyberpunk trope in mind, and then the fake protagonist is killed off before the end of the Prologue and the real protagonist, the slain punk's baby daughter, is revealed. Stephenson's intent is clear: "This is not a cyberpunk novel."

I'd also argue that Cyberpunk does not mean "everything is terrible", nor does Post-Cyberpunk have a softer and lighter view where "not everything is terrible." Rather, the difference is whether social control is rooted in 1984 or Brave New World.

From this point of view, Ghost in the Shell and Minority Report are still Cyberpunk (edit: settings); the viewer is just seeing things from a point of view other than the completely marginalized. Shadowrun is a Cyberpunk setting whether you work for a corporate power or in the streets.
