cyberpunk
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a future setting, noted for its focus on "high tech and low life" aspects of society.〔Anonymous. (2009). What is cyberpunk? ''Cyberpunked: Journal of Science, Technology, & Society''. Retrieved from http://www.cyberpunked.org/cyberpunk/〕 It features advanced technology and science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.
Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among artificial intelligences, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a future Earth, rather than the far-future settings or galactic vistas found in novels such as Isaac Asimov's ''Foundation'' or Frank Herbert's ''Dune''. The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias but tend to be marked by extraordinary cultural ferment and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its creators ("the street finds its own uses for things").〔Gibson, William from ''Burning Chrome'' published in 1981〕 Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.
== Style and ethos ==
Primary exponents of the cyberpunk field include William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Bruce Bethke, Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker, and John Shirley.
''Blade Runner'' can be seen as a quintessential example of the cyberpunk style and theme.〔 Video games, board games, and tabletop role-playing games, such as ''Cyberpunk 2020'' and ''Shadowrun'', often feature storylines that are heavily influenced by cyberpunk writing and movies. Beginning in the early 1990s, some trends in fashion and music were also labeled as cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is also featured prominently in anime and manga:〔 ''Akira'', ''Gunnm'', ''Ghost in the Shell'', ''Serial Experiments Lain'', ''Dennou Coil'', ''Ergo Proxy'' and ''Psycho Pass'' being among the most notable.〔http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/all?sort=average&order=desc&include_tags=17〕
