Genetic Engineering and Cyberpunk

Genetic engineering explores human identity at the intersection of biology and technology. Cyberpunk’s high-tech futures envision how advanced technologies can both empower elite segments of society and oppress those whose access is limited. Innovation promises both advancement and exploitation of bodies and minds, which can be engineered, hacked or commodified. Science fiction imagines a future shaped by modern trends in medicine and technology and their effects on human society. These dystopian visions frequently embody social inequality, corporate power and rebellion in both the physical and virtual world of cyberspace.
