Description

This lecture delves into the cyberpunk movement, which emerged in the 1980s as a critique of society and technology, focusing on the relationship between humans and machines. The discussion centers around the short story 'A Fibranchée' by James T. Pui Jr, a pseudonymous female author with a unique background. The story explores themes of body abandonment, societal manipulation, and the role of technology in shaping human interactions. It offers a precursor to the cyberpunk genre, highlighting the societal impact of image manipulation, consumerism, and the dehumanization caused by excessive reliance on technology.
