In this companion, an international range of contributors examine
the cultural formation of cyberpunk from micro-level analyses of
example texts to macro-level debates of movements, providing
readers with snapshots of cyberpunk culture and also cyberpunk as
culture. With technology seamlessly integrated into our lives and
our selves, and social systems veering towards globalization and
corporatization, cyberpunk has become a ubiquitous cultural
formation that dominates our twenty-first century techno-digital
landscapes. The Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture traces
cyberpunk through its historical developments as a literary science
fiction form to its spread into other media such as comics, film,
television, and video games. Moreover, seeing cyberpunk as a
general cultural practice, the Companion provides insights into
photography, music, fashion, and activism. Cyberpunk, as the
chapters presented here argue, is integrated with other critical
theoretical tenets of our times, such as posthumanism, the
Anthropocene, animality, and empire. And lastly, cyberpunk is a
vehicle that lends itself to the rise of new futurisms, occupying a
variety of positions in our regionally diverse reality and thus
linking, as much as differentiating, our perspectives on a
globalized technoscientific world. With original entries that
engage cyberpunk's diverse 'angles' and its proliferation in our
life worlds, this critical reference will be of significant
interest to humanities students and scholars of media, cultural
studies, literature, and beyond.
