cyberpunk

Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that explores a futuristic world where advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, coexists with societal decay, often in urban settings. It typically features themes of rebellion against oppressive systems, corporate domination, and the impact of technology on human life. Characters often experience a blending of the digital and physical realms, navigating complex relationships and moral dilemmas. Iconic examples include films like "Blade Runner" and novels like William Gibson's "Neuromancer," which highlight the interplay between high-tech innovation and social issues, reflecting both optimism and dystopia.
