- W3204000862 abstract "The cultural history of the (not only spotty adolescent) body has one clearcontemporary manifestation in the recent science fiction literary practice which hasbecome known as cyberpunk. Critical ways of approaching it have largely revolvedaround the interface between technology and the body, a cyborgian criticism, or interms of postmodern theories of the simulacrum, a spectacular criticism, orthrough postmodern constructions and explorations of cyberspace, and informationnetworks. I’m less interested in these clearly theorised and theorisable approachesthan in looking, as a starting point, at the very term itself. Much critical attentionhas been paid to the cyber of cyberpunk-but what about the punk? This chapterexplores some of the ideological implications of cyberpunk criticism (and looks alittle at the fiction of William Gibson), focusing less on cyberpunk texts than on thecritical and cultural debates clustered around cyberpunk, or fragmenting from it.I question particularly cyberpunk’s relation to the wider socio-critical tradition ofscience fiction. Does cyberpunk maintain or jettison this tradition? I approach thisquestion tangentially, by means of comparative analysis between cyberpunk andpunk rock. Does the punk figure represent a figure of rebellion or resentmentagainst the near-total urban fragmentation of the future, or does the punkconstitute a nihilistic, possibly postmodern, acceptance of a decentred, multiple,subcultural cityscape? In order to offer responses to questions like these I lookat the retrospective construction of punk rock and its co-optation by sciencefiction critics, at problems of this strategy, and at some of the reasons forproblems. This raises issues about the differences between British and NorthAmerican experiences and constructions of punk rock. By looking at the punk incyberpunk, I also have the chance to be hopelessly/postmodernly/critically (?)nostalgic, even while uncomfortably aware of-was it John Lydon’s (Johnny Rottenas was)? He should know-the searing indictment of the ‘punk fogey’ mentality, thatof the sad thirtysomething has-been whose only recent experience of speed is in a lifethat’s fast running out of excitement…Cyber/punkI want to start by elucidating some current critical thought on the term cyberpunk. Inhis introduction to the Mirrorshades anthology Bruce Sterling explains that:Figure 3.1 The cyberpunk ‘look’ makes it into the clubs.Source: Photograph by David Swindells, 1988." @default.
