Посткиберпънкът в киното на XXI век – реакция срещу глобализма
Post Cyberpunk in the Twenty-first Century Film: A Response to Globalisation

Summary/Abstract: Post Cyberpunk, very much like Cyberpunk is a genre, rather than a style. Style is the formal side to an artwork, while a genre unites the form and the content. The main concept of each work in Post Cyberpunk genre is the concept of virtual reality. In this world mind can exist outside the body and reality itself could be something shaped by somebody’s mind. Post Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, a derivative variety of the Cyberpunk that like its predecessor describes the technical development of the society in the near future along with its processes (pervasive domination of computer technologies, genetic and molecular engineering, technologies modifying human body, etc.), but unlike the “classical“ Cyberpunk, being not that dismal, it is brimming over with political satire and social criticism and often deriding the established standards of Cyberpunk’s canonicity. It is less dystopian than Cyberpunk, accepting that the globalisation of technologies just increases exploitation rather than improving the quality of human life.
