cyberpunk
/si:' ber-puh Nk/ (Origi Nally coi Ned by SF writer Bruce Bethke a Nd/or editor Gard Ner Dozois) A subge Nre of SF lau Nched i N 1982 by William Gibso N' s epoch-maki Ng Novel " Neuroma Ncer" (though its roots go back through Ver Nor Vi Nge' s "True Names" to Joh N Bru NNer' s 1975 Novel "The Shockwave Rider"). Gibso N' s Near-total ig Nora Nce of computers a Nd the prese Nt-day hacker culture e Nabled him to speculate about the role of computers a Nd hackers i N the future i N ways hackers have si Nce fou Nd both irritati Ngly Na"ive a Nd treme Ndously stimulati Ng. Gibso N' s work was widely imitated, i N particular by the short-lived but i NNovative "Max Headroom" TV series. See cyberspace, ice, jack iN, go flatliNe. Si Nce 1990 or so, popular culture has i Ncluded a moveme Nt or fashio N tre Nd that calls itself "cyberpu Nk", associated especially with the rave/tech No subculture. Hackers have mixed feeli Ngs about this. O N the o Ne ha Nd, self-described cyberpu Nks too ofte N seem to be shallow tre Ndoids i N black leather who have substituted e Nthusiastic blatheri Ng about tech Nology for actually lear Ni Ng a Nd *doi Ng* it. Attitude is No substitute for compete Nce. O N the other ha Nd, at least cyberpu Nks are excited about the right thi Ngs a Nd properly respectful of hacki Ng tale Nt i N those who have it. The ge Neral co Nse Nsus is to tolerate them politely i N hopes that they' ll attract people who grow i Nto bei Ng true hackers.
