Cyberpunk – Etymology
Excerpt from page 6
Cyberpunk is a form of science-fiction that appeared in the 1980s, a movement influenced by technological fantasies and upheavals as well as an obsession with transhumanism. Often, the action takes place in a not-so-distant future.
Cybernetics is an indispensable part of cyberpunk stories. It is a transdisciplinary science focussing on the principles that govern human beings and so-called evolved machines. Thus, mankind coexists alongside robots or androids, even cyborgs, as they themselves are partly cybernetic. Even more important is the concept of a network: information is the capital element of a hyperconnected society. The Net becomes an extension of reality, making the hacker a modern criminal. In the early 80s, a new wave of international authors emerged – made up of more vicious, fierce artists from the “counterculture” movements of the 60s and 70s wherein activist youths fought against cultural imperialism. The term “punk” denotes these people who go against the grain of a society dominated by conglomerates. Through these dystopian futures and disenchanted anti-heroes, cyberpunk continues to be an alarming and creative form of expression.
