What is cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a genre within science fiction that came out in the 1980’s. The action takes place mostly in the near future on Earth, often in dystopian urban communities. Cyberpunk is mainly targeted at computers and ICT, but it’s also in the extraordinary energy and diversity. This is a result of self-correction in the science fiction genre, which had traditionally ignored the information technology importance. Cyberpunks dystopian world has been called antithesis of the utopian science fiction that Star Trek versions is a good example of. In cyberpunk much of the action takes place online, and the distinction between the real and the virtual world can be somewhat diffuse. Some theorists see the cyberpunk stories as fictional forecasts of the Internet's development. Internet's virtual world occurs under various names, such as cyberspace, the Metaverse and The Matrix.
