Routledge, 2010. — 282 p.This book is a collection of essays that considers the continuing cultural relevance of the cyberpunk genre into the new millennium. Cyberpunk is no longer an emergent phenomenon, but in our digital age of CGI-driven entertainment, the information economy, and globalized capital, we have never more been in need of a fiction capable of engaging with a world shaped by information technology. The essays in explore our cyberpunk realities to soberly reconsider Eighties-era cyberpunk while also mapping contemporary cyberpunk. The contributors seek to move beyond the narrow strictures of cyberpunk as defined in the Eighties and contribute to an ongoing discussion of how to negotiate exchanges among information technologies, global capitalism, and human social existence. The essays offer a variety of perspectives on cyberpunk’s diversity and how this sub-genre remains relevant amidst its transformation from a print fiction genre into a more generalized set of cultural practices, tackling the question of what it is that cyberpunk narratives continue to offer us in those intersections of literary, cultural, theoretical, academic, and technocultural environments.Contents:

Routledge, 2010. - 本书是一本论文集，考虑了赛博朋克类型进入新千年后的持续文化相关性。赛博朋克不再是一种新兴现象，但在我们这个CGI驱动的娱乐、信息经济和全球化资本的数字时代，我们从未像现在这样需要一种能够与信息技术塑造的世界打交道的小说。这些文章探讨了我们的赛博朋克现实，冷静地重新考虑了八十年代的赛博朋克，同时也描绘了当代的赛博朋克。作者们试图超越八十年代定义的赛博朋克的狭隘限制，为如何协商信息技术、全球资本主义和人类社会存在之间的交流的持续讨论做出贡献。这些文章对赛博朋克的多样性以及这一亚流派如何在其从印刷小说流派转变为一套更普遍的文化实践的过程中保持相关性提供了各种观点，解决了赛博朋克叙事在文学、文化、理论、学术和技术文化环境的交汇处继续为我们提供什么的问题。
