postcyberpunk

Postcyberpunk is a genre of science fiction that evolved from cyberpunk, shifting focus from dystopian chaos to more nuanced futures. It explores worlds where advanced technology coexists with social complexity, often emphasizing individual agency, cultural diversity, and ethical challenges rather than solely highlighting corporate domination or societal collapse. Postcyberpunk characters may navigate networks and gadgets but also seek personal meaning and community, reflecting a more mature and realistic view of technological integration into daily life. It offers a lens to examine how humanity adapts to and shapes highly technological societies without falling into purely dystopian or overly optimistic narratives.
