cyberpunk

• portmanteau word that fuses “cybernetics” and “punk”:
  • A subset of science fiction of the 1980s and 90s that focuses on information systems, virtual realities, cyberspace networks.
  • Not quite dystopian, bc society is not coherently organized, and is often on the brink of upheaval
• almost always pessimistic about the not-too-distant future.
• Early examples:
  • William Gibson’s “Johnny Mnemonic” and Neuromancer (1980s)
  • Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and The Diamond Age (1990s)
