Cyberpunk genre

Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre that explores a dystopian future where advanced technology, like cybernetics and artificial intelligence, coexists with societal decay, corruption, and inequality. It often features a high-tech, low-life aesthetic, emphasizing the contrast between neon-lit urban environments and gritty realities. The stories typically focus on marginalized characters, hackers, and rebels challenging powerful corporations or oppressive governments. Cyberpunk examines themes of identity, control, and the impact of technology on human life, blending futuristic innovation with gritty, often noir-inspired storytelling.
