Beyond Cyberpunk: New Critical Perspectives
Beyond Cyberpunk: New Critical Perspectives
Literary cyberpunk has had a tumultuous, conflicted, at times contradictory history. Almost before the subgenre was established, laments regarding its ultimate hijacking by imitators, poseurs, and corporate marketing departments dominated discussion. Eulogies quickly followed cyberpunk’s meteoric success. The essays collected here seek to provide an overview of cyberpunk’s influence from the Movement-era Eighties into this new millennium. Thus, contributors attempt to pose and answerr some fundamental questions: why cyberpunk? what is its ongoing relevance? where do we go from here? What is it cyberpunk continues to offer us in those nodal intersections of literary, cultural, theoretical, academic, and technocultural environs? Now, more than two decades after that initial wave that was cyberpunk crashed onto science fiction’s shores, this new volume offers more sober and less hyperbolic reflections on cyberpunk.
