Cyberpunk; the connection of cybernetics and the world of virtual reality and an anti-establishment/ rebellious attitude, to create a genre across all media. An extension on from science fiction interested in new developments of science. Formed in the 1980's and exhibited ideally in the 1982 picture Blade Runner.
Cyberpunk is concerned with the relationship between machines and humans, as well as the closing proximity between the differences of each. Cyberpunk in often concerned with apocalyptic circumstances as apposed to films where the disastrous scenario is the end of the film; cyberpunk is often begun at this point. This genre often too, challenges the emotions available for computers and machines and the way interaction between humans and machines are transforming, as well as the risk this poses to society and humanity.
William Burroughs is credited as being the father of cyberpunk. His writing was concerned with paranoia inside a large, dysfunctional machine/science fiction.
