The Cyberpunk Future | STEAM: Ideas That Shape Our World
Science fiction writer, computer scientist, and mathematician Rudy Rucker (The Ware Tetralogy) says the cyberpunk future is already here. Merriam-Webster defines cyberpunk as “science fiction dealing with future urban societies dominated by computer technology.” Rucker says a key element of cyberpunk, however, is an anti-establishment outlook on life. He talks about cyberpunk and imagines the technology of the future. Rucker spoke as part of the 2017 IdeaFestival in Louisville, Kentucky.
