Hey All!
Well, we didn't have to do a blog today, but I thought I would just write a couple of points down from the lecture. So here it is ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre based in the possibilities inherent in computers, genetics, body modifications and corporate developments in the near future
-William Gibson is a US/Canadian writer whose fictional work has spawned a number of key concepts like 'cyberspace' and 'virtual reality'.
The Matrix pushed the limits of cyberpunk so it became like the bloated soap operas that it had originally scorned. Nevertherless it deals with philosophical issues at some depth
CYBERPUNK THEMES
1. Technology and Mythology
2. Utopia and Dystopia
3. Cities as Machines
4. Technological change
5. Modernism to Postmodernism
New Media, Internet Studies and CyberCultural Studies
