About Me
Cyberpunk is a
documentary that looks back at the 80s cyberpunk movement,
and more specifically, how this has led to a trend in
the “real†world where people were starting to refer to
themselves as “cyberpunk.†The documentary sees “cyberpunksâ€
as being synonymous with hackers. A number of writers,
artists, musicians and scientists are interviewed to provide
context to this movement. The guiding meme, as told by
Gibson, is that information “wants†to be free. 60s counter-culture
drug philosopher, Timothy Leary, provides a prediction
that cyberpunks will “decentralize knowledge,†which will
serve to remove power from those “in power†and bring
it back to the masses. Many different potential technologies
are discussed, including “smart drugs,†sentient machines,
advanced prosthetics – all of which serve to give context
to the idea of post-humanity and its imminent arrival
on the world stage.
