Definition of the term "Cyberpunk":

 Origin: The term "cyberpunk" originated in the early 1980s, combining

"cybernetics," referring to the integration of humans and machines, and
"punk," reflecting a rebellious and anti-establishment attitude.
 Literary Roots: Cyberpunk is primarily a subgenre of science fiction that
emerged in the works of authors like William Gibson, particularly in his novel
"Neuromancer" (1984), which is often considered a seminal work in the
genre.

Key Features of the Cyberpunk Genre:

1. High Tech, Low Life: Cyberpunk settings are characterized by advanced

technology juxtaposed with societal decay. While there are futuristic
advancements like cybernetic enhancements and artificial intelligence, the
overall society is often dystopian and marked by inequality.
2. Megacorporations: Powerful and often corrupt megacorporations play a
central role. These entities control vast aspects of society, including politics,
technology, and even the lives of individuals.
3. Cybernetic Enhancements: Characters in cyberpunk stories frequently have
cybernetic enhancements, such as implants, prosthetics, or neural interfaces.
The boundary between human and machine is blurred.
4. Urban Sprawl: The narrative often unfolds in sprawling, densely populated
urban environments characterized by towering skyscrapers, neon lights, and
a mix of advanced and dilapidated structures.
5. Hackers and Information Warfare: Cyberpunk stories often feature skilled
hackers navigating virtual realities, engaging in information warfare, and
challenging the control of powerful entities.
6. Dystopian Society: The societal backdrop is typically dystopian, marked by
rampant crime, poverty, and a stark division between the elite and the
underprivileged.
7. Noir Aesthetics: Cyberpunk often incorporates noir elements, including a
dark, gritty atmosphere, morally ambiguous characters, and complex,
intertwining plots.
8. Globalization Impact: The influence of globalization is evident, with a world
interconnected by technology, but the benefits of this connectivity are not
evenly distributed.

Slide 4: Key Elements

Description of Key Elements in Cyberpunk Dystopia:

In this slide, we will explore the key elements that characterize a cyberpunk
dystopia, including megacorporations, cyborgs, hackers, and the fusion of
technology and humanity.

1. Megacorporations:
 These are giant and powerful corporate entities that exert
disproportionate control over society.
 They dominate sectors such as technology, government, and the
economy, often acting unscrupulously in pursuit of profits.
 2. Cyborgs:
 Cyborgs are beings who have integrated mechanical or electronic
components into their bodies.
 They may have implants to enhance their abilities or replace parts of
the body with advanced technology.
3. Hackers:
 Central figures in cyberpunk, hackers are experts in manipulating
computer systems and challenging the control of megacorporations.
 They use their skills to reveal hidden truths and dismantle power
structures.
4. Fusion of Technology and Humanity:
 The line between humans and machines blurs, with people adopting
cybernetic enhancements to improve their performance.
 This theme addresses ethical questions about the loss of human
identity and dependence on technology.

Slide 5: Distorted Society

Analysis of Society in Cyberpunk

In this slide, we will analyze society in the cyberpunk context, where the gap between the rich
and the poor is prominent, and issues of moral decay and corruption will be addressed.

1. Socioeconomic Gap:
 In the cyberpunk world, society is heavily stratified with a marked division
between wealthy elites and less privileged classes.
 Megacorporations control much of the wealth and resources, exacerbating the
disparity.
2. Rampant Poverty:
 Lower classes often face precarious living conditions, with a shortage of basic
resources and limited access to public services.
 Poverty is worsened by labor exploitation and a lack of equitable opportunities.
3. Moral Decay:
 The unrestrained pursuit of power and wealth leads to widespread moral decay
in cyberpunk society.
 Individual morality is often compromised in the struggle for survival and social
ascent.
4. Systemic Corruption:
 Corruption is ingrained in key institutions, from government to security forces.
 Megacorporations often manipulate authorities to maintain their control and
pursue their own interests.
Representative Images:

 (Include images reflecting the socioeconomic gap, poverty in urban areas, moral decay,
and examples of systemic corruption in the cyberpunk environment.)

This slide aims to highlight the striking inequality and moral decay that characterize the
cyberpunk society, providing insight into the social challenges and tensions present in this
dystopian setting.
