Category:Punk Punk: Difference between revisions

'''Punk Punk''' genres are a generalization of [[Cyberpunk]] into other periods or with other genres mixed in. In the 1980s, authors like [[William Gibson]] and Bruce Sterling wrote dystopian novels set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], where they explored themes such as the impact of modern technology on everyday life, the rise of the global datasphere as an arena for communication, commerce, conflict, and crime, and invasive [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|cybernetic body modifications]]. The heroes of these stories were marginalized, seedy, and rebellious, in other words "punks". Bruce Bethke called this [[Cyberpunk]], and it was good.
