It's sort of it's own thing -- a pre-post-apocalypse novel, an earthseed novel, a cautionary tale, a book about the fall of empire. But I agree, it's probably not a cyberpunk novel.

That said, it's in conversation with the genre, imo, and imagines a different way late stage capitalism can go -- not up into dystopian spires and neon lights, but down into instability due to climate change, growing wealth inequality, and corporate greed.
