I'm not talking about fans i'm talking about the literature on a university level.

Matrix is stylized. It is a mix of kung foo and anime like themes. Ghost in the shell, and Akira have been compared to the Matrix.

Michael Drout teaches a class at Wheaton College (no not the one in illinois) on Science Fiction Literature and their is a whole unit devoted to cyber punk in films and literature.

I'm sure other Universities have taught similar courses.

Drout's class i would say is unorthodox however because he also teaches a course on fantasy and J.R.R. Tolkien. The literary elite have done their best to keep Tolkien off the Syllabus on the university level because he was a linguist, and a fantacist and not the proper kind of thing to teach. They only wanted realism expressed and did not want to add fantasy. They slowly added Science Fiction and Fantasy and resisted it all the way as literature proper to the student.
