Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction set in a dystopian future. It is characterized by its focus on a combination of "lowlife and high tech". It features a range of futuristic technological and scientific achievements, including artificial intelligence and cyberware, which are juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay. Much of cyberpunk comes from the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and '70s. Writers such as Philip K. Dick, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer, and Harlan Ellison explored the impact of technology, drug culture, and the sexual revolution. These authors diverged from the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction.
