Within the expansive mediascape of the 1980s and 1990s, cyberpunk's
aesthetics took firm root, relying heavily on visual motifs for its
near-future splendor saturated in media technologies, both real and
fictitious. As today's realities look increasingly like the futures
forecast in science fiction, cyberpunk speaks to our contemporary
moment and as a cultural formation dominates our 21st century
techno-digital landscapes. The 15 essays gathered in this volume
engage the social and cultural changes that define and address the
visual language and aesthetic repertoire of cyberpunk - from
cybernetic organisms to light, energy, and data flows, from video
screens to cityscapes, from the vibrant energy of today's video
games to the visual hues of comic book panels, and more. Cyberpunk
and Visual Culture provides critical analysis, close readings, and
aesthetic interpretations of exactly those visual elements that
define cyberpunk today, moving beyond the limitations of merely
printed text to also focus on the meaningfulness of images, forms,
and compositions that are the heart and lifeblood of cyberpunk
graphic novels, films, television shows, and video games.
