A [[science fiction]] genre. Basic themes include the dehumanizing effects of technology, and the accompanying societal breakdown. Think dark and dirty, with lots of [[wire]]s and [[neon lights|neon]].

[b]Cyberpunk[/b] is a postmodern dystopian genre noted for its focus on [b]”high tech and low life"[/b]. The name is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk, and was originally coined by American science fiction author Bruce Bethke as the title of his short Sci-Fi story [i]Cyberpunk[/i], written in 1980.

Cyberpunk can cover numerous themes and motifs but generally involve reflecting on the current anxieties of society and amping them up to an extreme; things like mass surveillance, corporate monopolization, climate change, mass media, artificial intelligence and any other themes can thus be accomodated by a cyberpunk setting.

For the series which the genre is named after, see [[Cyberpunk (series)]].
