Cyberpunk literature is a subgenre of science fiction that explores a high-tech, low-life future where advanced technology coexists with societal decay. It often features hackers, artificial intelligence, and corporate dominance, reflecting contemporary anxieties about technology and capitalism. Notable works include Neuromancer by William Gibson and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. The narratives typically unfold in urban environments filled with neon lights and cybernetic enhancements, emphasizing themes of identity, reality, and rebellion. Cyberpunk's influence extends beyond literature into films like Blade Runner and video games such as Deus Ex, shaping our understanding of a possible future shaped by technology.
