What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

I took my kids to this when it first came out. My youngest daughter was about 5, I think. During this scene she just couldn't contain herself and when the music kicked in she stood up and started dancing! The theater wasn't packed, so there was plenty of room. Everyone in the theater started laughing and clapping and we're really sweet. After the movie a bunch of people came over to tell her she was a good dancer. Made her feel like a star!
This is awesome, my niece did the same thing the first time I played Kraftwerk for her at that age. Kids, they just know.
They really are fun! That's a cute story 😊
